Organize
Organize Content with Groups & More Account Levels
Groups enable better organization of your content. Each group can be thought of as a mini-LibGuides system - you can customize the group homepage, banners, footers, etc. Create as many groups as you want (e.g. Research Guides, Course Guides, Faculty Materials, Library Policies, Young Adults, Book Clubs, etc.) You could even create an intranet for Internal Library Documents and Discussions using the groups functionality!
LibGuides CMS also has an additional account-level so you can invite faculty and students to create content in the system and collaborate. This enables you to extend the reach of the library on your campus and invite others to participate in the system.
Control Who Can Access Which Content
LibGuides CMS has advanced access controls functionality which enables administrators to set various access rules/policies. For example, you can limit access to the whole system, to specific groups, or even limit access to individual guides. Access is based upon IP addresses or ranges.
In addition to the IP-restrictions options each guide in the system can also be password protected. This is ideal for sensitive information such as internal documentation, governance documents, strategic initiatives, etc.
LibGuides CMS introduces much enhanced functionality for individual guides.
Full Look & Feel Customization For Individual Guides
Each guide in the system has its own header and footer area which is fully customizable to insert stylesheet rules and any other customization which is specific to a particular guide..
Run Custom Javascript & Other Scripts For Individual Guides
If you have customized javascript which should only run on particular guide(s), we have you covered - just insert the script reference to the custom HEAD code for an individual guide..
Password-protect Individual Guides
Each guide in the system can be password-protected. In addition, LibGuides CMS enables optional password production for individual files and documents uploaded to the system.
Guide Discussion Boards
Each guide in LibGuides CMS gets its own discussion board. Guide owners get notifications of new conversations, messages, etc.
Create customized forms and surveys in a snap! Display forms and surveys within guides, or embed them elsewhere - onto any webpage, blog, LMS system, etc. The survey results are tallied automatically and you get email notifications any time a visitor completes your survey. The look and feel of the forms and surveys can be fully customized, and you can set expiration dates for surveys.
