LibGuides: Creating a STL LibGuide: Standards & Best Practices: Home

Welcome!

This LibGuide was created specifically for STL librarians. It lists standards and best practices to follow when creating and updating LibGuides.

We hope this LibGuide can help provide some consistency to our LibGuides system. We also hope its linked reusable content can help make it easier and faster to create LibGuide content and instructional activities.
