Reminder: Online Access

  • Library resources require going through CWRU Single Sign-On.
  • The best method is to follow links from the library website.
  • When logged in and a browser window is not closed, access should continue from resource to resource.
  • Remember to close your browser when done.

Design

  • Use a KSL-designed, tested, and required template
    • Go to Guide Navigation Layout


       
    • Look for options under Side-Nav Layout


       
    • Select the best option for your guide type
    • The "event" template does not automatically display a LibGuide profile; add custom contact information as needed
       
  • Capitalize the first word in each box heading
  • Include a profile box describing who to contact.
    • Add CWRU email address and phone number
    • Add CWRU profile image if desired (LibApps > My Profile > Profile Image)
      • PNG or JPG
      • 200px wide x 140px high
  • Include Ask A Librarian module & VPN reminder module on the first page (KSL templates do this for you automatically.)
