About:
Are you looking for an easy way to keep your library patrons, students, teachers and parents up-to-date on all things happening in the library? Blogs and discussion boards can help!
Blogs are built in to LibGuides, so it's possible to have a blog for your library as a whole, or separate blogs for different departments or subject areas.
Discussion boards provide a question and feedback functionality within your LibGuides CMS site. We'll look at how discussion boards can make it possible to have internal discussions among staff, or public discussions with patrons.
We'll cover:
- Setting up and and using a site-level blog
- Setting up and using a guide-level blog
- Managing patron accounts
- Managing subscribers
- Setting Up Internal Discussion Boards for staff
- Using Discussion Boards for Patrons
