LibGuides, LibCal, LibStaffer, and LibInsight Features Coming Your Way!

These releases are on their way to you over the next 2 weeks, and will be live in all regions by the end of the day on Friday, May 24, 2024.

LibGuides

  • The all new Blogs are here! We're excited to bring you a new host of homepage options, blog statistics, and much more granular controls over all types of functionality, including appearance and comments. Check out the lounge post on the new blogs functionality for the full scoop!
  • Our new Sublists functionality is here! Use the new sublist functionality to identify a subset of your existing A-Z databases, and highlight that subset  in its own searchable landing page. Use this option for creating lists of databases that are available on or off campus, or databases that are available to alumni, faculty, and students, or databases available at different libraries within your LibGuides site - so many options to explore!
  • And our Multi AZ functionality is here too! With this new option, LibGuides CMS clients can create custom assets, complete with customized fields related to each type of asset, and use them to generate searchable A-Z landing pages to highlight those resources. This solution is perfect for creating lists of anything, from OER resources to etc.
