Libguide Libguide: Getting started

Getting started - Overall structure of a LibGuide

Guides are made up of pages; pages are made up of boxes; boxes contain content (text, images, widgets, database listings, book listings, etc.).

(Springshare uses the analogy of Russian Matryoshka dolls.)

There is a description and a graphic which illustrate this structure in LibGuides Help at What is a Guide?

LibGuides can have one of two navigation structures:

  • Tabbed navigation (top-nav)– this is the structure we use for RSGs and LRGS
  • Side navigation (side-nav) – we are moving to using this structure for our General Purpose and Internal guides.
