\"Typing<\/a>As I mentioned in my last post<\/a>, we need to change the way that we manage our lists of resources on LibGuides – and having spent some time thinking about this, I’m ready to share our four key proposals with everyone:<\/p>\n

1. All Resources Will Be Managed Centrally<\/h2>\n

Periodicals will maintain a central list of all the resources we link to in our subject guides – if we want to add or change resources on our own lists, we’ll need those changes to be made centrally. There will be an easy-to-use form that you will use to request changes. Periodicals will email you as soon as the change has been made.<\/p>\n

2. We Will Retain an A-Z List of Core Resources<\/h2>\n

The A-Z list of resource will remain – however it will feature just our paid-for resources and key freely available multi-subject resources.<\/p>\n

3. Resources Will Not be Duplicated<\/h2>\n

Each resource will have one entry in the list, in whichever form of the title is deemed most appropriate – there will not be separate entries for the full and abbreviated titles. Furthermore, on and off-campus links will be combined into the one entry.<\/p>\n

4. Icons Will Provide Off-Campus, Password and Tutorial Links<\/h2>\n

The title of a resource will form a link to it – if there are separate on and off campus links, the title will use the on-campus link. Any off-campus link, information about specific passwords, and links to tutorials will be provided by additional icons next to the title.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, we will not prompt users if all that is required is their University login – we will only prompt them if a different kind of password is required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
