UBC LibGuides: Guidelines

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]

• Springshare FAQ on Customizing Group Homepages

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

UBC Library provides access to information in many different languages
