- The ability to post events is nice, but this function wouldn't really work as a registration tool. There is an option to link to a URL which presumbly would have more information about the event and email links or links to a form. If we had a registration software in place then it would be fun to see how the libguides event feature would work with that. Not sure I'd use it without some way to give people a timesaving link for registration though.
- See my examples on the home page of Companies Draft at http://libguides.mit.edu/companies1
Documents & Files:
- This is really neat. You can easily upload pdfs (I didn't try any other file types). A nice way to make cheatsheets easily available, reasonably near point of need. See my examples on the home page of Companies Draft.
- Just thinking: if one were to take advantage of several of these box options, it would mean a real commitment to keeping all these things current and updated.
Del.icio.us Tag cloud:
- You must have a Del.icio.us account and tagged items in that account.
- The box allows you to add ALL of your tags. You have the option to have the tags listed alphabetically or by frequency. You also have the option to add counts to the tags. The tags are links to your Del.icio.us page.
- A link to your Del.iciou.us page is also added to the box.
- This might be useful if we switch the Virtual Reference Page to LibGuides.
- I have an example on my Humanities (General) guide. The tab is labed Virtual Reference.
