This document discusses changes and enhancements being made to LibGuides 2.0. It provides guidance on mapping assets like links and images to the correct categories, assigning guide types, and fixing broken links. Key changes include more shared and linked content between guides, mixing content within boxes, and ensuring all images are the same size. Database links should be assigned as assets and categories have been created for different guide types like subject, course, and template guides.

in one of the updates (already on their list of
proposed enhancements)
• Administrators can add to shared folder, but
anyone can use photos

13. New Feature

same size (in ppi)
• Images of different
heights will make the
contents on the page

may be useful to rename this type of guide,
since patrons may be confused by "topic"
