UBC LibGuides: Guidelines

Guidelines and best practices for the creation and management of guides at UBC Library

Explanation of group pages

The LibGuides portal page is designed based on groups. Each box reflects a group, and each group has a homepage. The content stored on this page is what populates the right column of the group homepages. Example: Business & Management [GROUP]

We have created two group homepage templates.

  1. The first sorts the guides that are in it by subject. Example: Business & Management [GROUP]
  2. The second sorts the guides that are in it by title. Example: Science [GROUP]

Admin access in LibGuides CMS is required to edit group pages. Requests for changes should be sent to: lg@lists.ubc.ca 

In setting up the group pages in 2025, the following principles were followed:

  • create consistent user experience across groups, while acknowledging the need for some flexibility
  • add links to guides/subjects that support interdisciplinary research, especially for climate, languages, and Indigenous research topics
  • add a limited number of links to discipline specific resources from other groups
  • add an AskAway widget to support students in connecting with additional research support

The boxes on this page have been "reused" on the group pages; edits made to these boxes will be reflected live on the group pages
