About:
Oral History is so important for recording the stories of smaller communities. These local histories, family stories, folk tales and songs can also be transcribed and stored in your guides!
This session assumes a base knowledge of LibGuides. If you are new to LibGuides we recommend that you watch or attend the Building a Guides Session prior to this one.
We'll cover:
- Creating the guide
- Adding a transcript to your guide
- Adding audio files to your guide using a Media/Widget asset
- Examples of guides showcasing oral history
