...

  • like that it includes exemplary guides
  • like the "preferred terminology"
  • way too much content overall - seems like it would be overwhelming for guide authors

Questions I have

  • Should we be separating content by source type (books, articles, etc.) Is this how users search for it? Is it relevant in the Blacklight discovery environment? 
  • How many tabs should a guide be limited to? (personal opinion: one page guides; exceptions could be granted if author submits justification for this, but what would the parameters be?)
  • What does a default template look like? What elements does it contain? 
  • What content and labeling do we want to be uniform across guides?


EBT

Some of the sections in these guidelines that we may want to include in our own:  

  • General principles/philosophy behind approach
  • Editorial style guide: naming conventions, formatting, etc. 
  • Structure/layout: pages, boxes; headings, navigation; embedding links/media
  • Accessibility 
  • Specific guidelines for course guides? 
  • Managing guides (after publication)
  • General “tips” page
