LibGuides 

• Potential policy draft (based on the blog policy):

  Account Creation:

  1. All LibGuides accounts must be approved by the supervisor for the department and branch (when applicable) in which the account owner works.

  2. All passwords must be secure, following normal UF guidelines.

  3. All account creation will be through sys help that lists the account owner's department and branch, and confirms supervisor approval.

  4. LibGuides accounts are for full time library staff (for others, please provide additional reasoning in the SysHelp).

  5. For changes in LibGuides administrators, use a SysHelp and submit the name of the LibGuide(s), the name of the previous administrator, and the name of the new administrator. (Changes may be confirmed with department supervisors. This is to ensure up-to-date account information for coordination and maintenance.)

  Comment Moderation:

  1. Comment moderation is at the discretion of the LibGuides administrators registered by the accounts creation with Systems. They are responsible for both content moderation and comment moderation. They may enable or disable comments. They are responsible for maintaining University Standards.

  Coordination: Templates & Shared Guides

  Each branch or department will:

  1. Ensure coordination and maintenance for published guides, with at least one active account assigned for each guide and  a method for ensuring updates for collaboratively maintained guides.

  2. Assign a single person to be a LibGuides liaison, like other Systems Liaisons for the purposes of coordination and support.

  3. Coordinate with the Library Webmaster to plan and implement centralized guidelines for design and layout that follow the basic design requirements already established. The  Library Webmaster will share the plans across the libraries so that innovative ideas and common resources are easily shared throughout the libraries.

• Brown Bag Announcement Email:

  Brown Bag on LibGuides; Thursday, March 20, 12:30-1:30pm, in the Smathers Library Room 1A

  The Library 2.0 group will be holding a brown bag for everyone using or thinking about using LibGuides. This will include a short demonstration of LibGuides and then a discussion of the options for the standardized design and uses for LibGuides. We'll discuss our design options and how we can best use and integrate LibGuides into our current work.

  This is open for all staff because LibGuides, while designed for subject and course guides, works well for any tutorial or help-style documentation and could be used for presenting handouts, creating internal manuals, and more. LibGuides is open to everyone at Smathers, Health, and Law, and we'd like to get feedback from as many people as possible to make sure that we use this tool to the fullest in terms of integrating it with our other work.

  If you have any questions, please contact any member of Library 2.0 Group (http://uflibrary.pbwiki.com/Members), or please start the larger discussion on the Watercooler List: http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/pers/watercooler.htm
