In & out of the LibGuides box: developing the Leeds Beckett Library website Mike Ford, Helen Loughran and Debbie Morris Libraries and Learning Innovation Leeds Beckett University

Project to enhance the look, feel and appeal of the Library website Improve the look and feel (within University brand) Review structure Develop new content Rationalise pages Add visual content Support 24/7 self service access Ensure mobile enabled

Library Online Website pre-September 2014

Key Dates Research Phase: November 2013 – January 2014 Development Phase: February – May 2014 (LibGuides2 announced early May) Implementation Phase: June – September 2014 (launch 1 st September) Review Phase: October – December 2014 Future = customisation and further integration with VLE / expansion of LibAnswers

Why LibGuides? Previous website developed in house More effective content management system Academic Librarians already using LibGuides1 for 12 months Mobile compatibility & responsive pages

Springshare LibApps in use LibGuides2 – main webpage system –CMS module – improves flexibility of content, customisation and access/permissions LibCal2 – online bookings system for staff & rooms LibAnswers/LibChat – help & FAQs system

What worked out of the box? LibGuides CMS (but can do lots without this) Framework - based on Bootstrap responsive web framework (getbootstrap.com)getbootstrap.com Templates – to create look & feel & assist staff Syndetics book cover enhancements Databases A-Z – used LibGuides system

Not in the box! 3 column layout Images – hard to customise, expected to be easier, difficult to format/size Newsfeed – had to customise extensively Contact Us box – hard to customise if you have developer skills, easier if you are happy with ‘out of the box’ look & feel Lists widget – easy to generate (basic html) but had to customise look & feel to tie in with site

Working outside of the box…

Home Page Not LibGuides standard page Action buttons Image gallery ‘Discover’ Box Twitter feed

Landing Page Custom template CSS

Closing the box: lessons learned Responsiveness of Springshare User Forum – Springshare Lounge Don’t be afraid to ask Springshare! Read the documentation New skills learned by all involved Give yourself enough time Be brave & adaptable – prepared to change course!
