You can create the following types of content within boxes in LibGuides. Except for Rich Text / HTML, all of these are stored within LibGuides as re-usable assets:
Rich Text / HTML - Rich Text/Dynamic Content/Scripts is the most versatile box type, for any type of formatted text, HTML, or JavaScript code, or embedded widgets.
Database - Enables you to add one or more databases from the Library's databases directory.
Link - Links enable you to create (and re-use) web links. Each item can have a short description which typically appears underneath the item.
Media / Widget - This enables you to embed a streaming video inside your page. The video can reside on any video sharing sites. You will be prompted to enter the full <embed>... code for the video which resides on a remote site, and the system will display the said video inside the box.
Book from the Catalog - This enables you to enter (and re-use) links to book records in the Library Catalog or other databases (e.g., an open textbook repository). You can enter the book Title/Author/ISBN/URL, and display the book cover for the item.
Document / File - Documents/Files content box enables you to upload any number of files to your page.
RSS Feed - This enables you to display the contents of an RSS feed inside this box. You will be asked to provide the URL of the RSS feed (in a standard rss/xml/atom format) and the system will display the feed items inside the box.
Guide List - This enables you to create lists of other guides in your system.
Poll - This enables you to create a poll on your page. Create a question and enter up to 6 choices for your poll. Each poll choice can have assoicated url, and you can view the results of the poll in real time.
Google Search - Enable visitors to search Google inside your guide. You can configure each asset to search either Google, Google Books, Google Scholar, or Google Patents.
