How are we using guide "types"?

General Purpose: use for events or programs
Subject Guide: use for academic disciplines
Topic Guide: use for 'how-to' tutorials on equipment and technology
Internal Guide: use for staff training and information
Template Guide: use for creating new guides
Course Guide: use for supporting specific courses
- Course guides were phased out prior to 2020 and merged into subject guides; if a faculty member requests a course guide, create it as a subpage on the appropriate subject guide. Retire the subpage after 4 years if the course is no longer taught
