Sandbox Subpage Instructions

Sandbox Subpage Instructions:

In Unit 3 you get to practice making content in LibGuides. When you're done, you'll have your own "sandbox" page where you experiment with LibGuide content design. 

  1. Review the videos, images, and text in the LibGuide How to Create and Reuse Content box. This box has 3 tabs with instructions on how to create different types of LibGuide content: Sign In, Make Pages, and  Creating and Reusing Content. Reference the instructions in these tabs to create your sandbox page. 
  2. Create a subpage of this page (LibGuides Sandbox Page), and make your first name the title of the subpage. This will be your sandbox.
  3. Map a box from the LibGuides Repository Guide
  4. Create a new box. In the new box:
    1. Reuse (map) 1 media widget (video) asset OR 1 book asset
    2. Add 1 database asset
    3. Add a Rich text/HTML to the box, and write a brief description of the content you added to the box (the database and mapped video). 
  5. Optional: Experiment with further customizations-- add other assets, mapped boxes, and text to make your page your own!
  6. Email Heidi when you're done: hanoszko@uwm.edu
