Revised outline
1. Intro
- why we chose it
- limitations: can't upload images, not totally customize-able, everything in a box, can't remove borders, etc.
- when to use and when not to use:
- Large, complex guides: GIS (http://libraries.mit.edu/gis or http://libraries.mit.edu/guides/subjects/metadata)
- When using a lot of tables
- NOT for staff use (for now)
- Use the guidelines: https://wikis.mit.edu/confluence/display/LIBGUIDESTF/Recommendations

- Vera subjects vs. subject guides (Research guides)
- merging these (show Materials examples again)
- show new page that lists all the guides, including old "subject guides" and "publication types" pages
- e-mail Marion if you want the subcategories in the box changed centrally
- cheatsheets and course pages, how they will/will not be included
...
- If your subject is different from most, and you want your databases listed on another page or tab, please let Marion know, so she can link to your databases from Vera
- Could keep the guide she made as is, if you want
- For now, old guides are linked from new page that Marion has made. You can change those later.
- Talk about advantages of linking to Vera lists (info) WHERE SHOULD THIS GO?
...
- required and optional choices (LIST THESE HERE!!!)
- if you have no image, choose not to display an image

...
- Under "change status":
- naming your shortcut URL (required; refer to shortcut URL list; make it "-test" for now (If you don't like the shortcut, ask Marion to change it)
- filing it under subjects (can choose more than one; show where it shows up: http://libguides.mit.edu)
- private vs. unpublished vs. public guides
- Making things live
- no need for approval
- delete the old published guide, and quickly rename the new version with the same friendly URL
- contact Marion to link from index pages

You're welcome to change it, but you don't have to. ** Where will these be linked?

*** E-mail Marion if you want the subcategories in the box changed centrally
*** Database cheatsheets won't be integrated into this list, but instead, we'll provide a link to the cheatsheet where we link to the database.
*** Course pages won't be integrated into the list, but there's a link to them at the top.
** Go back to the Materials page... You don't have to keep your database descriptions on this page, but if you want your databases listed on another page or tab, rather than the "home" page, please let Marion know, so she can link to your databases from Vera
** Could keep the guide she made as is, if you want
** For now, old subject guides are linked from new page that Marion has made. You can change those later.
** Marion has set up list of databases for every subject: http://libguides.mit.edu/content.php?pid=10298
** You can choose to link to the list on your page, or copy it. They're all linked, right now.
*** Pros of linking to the list:
