This guide is designed to provide guidance on making LibGuides more useful, accessible, and relevant to users through best practices that incorporate usability and web design.

Guidelines for course guides, because of the narrowly focused audiences, must be considerably more flexible in design and style than any other pages. The principle focus should be on providing resources and instruction for a particular course, in consultation with faculty; however, because course guides are also linked on portal pages, and some people outside the course will inevitably use them, authors should also make an effort to adhere to general design principles to ensure some consistency with the rest of the site.

The JBCL Reference Department develops and maintains LibGuide webpages to support the research and learning needs of the Prairie View A&M University faculty, staff and students.

Libguides is a user-friendly content management system used by University of Utah Libraries and thousands of libraries worldwide.
