Introducing LibSites with Personalized Patron Portal

Here's your chance to take a behind-the-scenes tour to really get the insider intel on LibSites with Personalized Patron Portal.

- Easy-to-Use Website Builder
- How LibSites makes it easy to design and manage your library’s website—no coding required.
- Flexible header and navigation builder—customize menus and apply them across your entire site!
- Seamless integration with other Springshare tools including LibCal, LibAnswers, and LibGuides.
- Next-Level Personalization Tools
- Ways to tailor content and homepages based on user types, so every visitor sees what’s most relevant to them.
- A look at the Personalized Patron Portal—a centralized dashboard where users can easily access resources, event registrations, LibAnswers interactions, and more.
