Rams Write: How to LibGuides

Example 

Your example should be formatted using "Header 4"

Use bold-faced "Normal" text to indicate incorrect and correct examples, as well as explanations.

Incorrect: 

Correct:

Explanation:

(No more than 3-5 examples)

All images/resources should be hyperlinked in their box.

You also MUST cite these sources according to the MLA guidelines underneath your names in the "This page was created by" box at the bottom of the page (see below).

For example: “meme generator” should be hyperlinked under a meme you created.

1. Your intro should be at the very top of your libguide, as seen here. Follow rules for introduction (see at top of the page).
2. Use a size 12, Arial font. We want our site to be both consistent and accessible.
3. When making numbered lists, use the editor function rather than just typing in numbers. Using this tool will make your lists neater, adjust the text wrapping for you, and be accessible to different types of screen readers (when you just type a number, these readers will read it as text, not as a number).
4. Place your memes and examples wherever you like. This portion is flexible, just make it look appealing and don't over-load the page with text.
5. Group member names and graduation years (if you want) go first at the very bottom of the document, followed by your citations in MLA format. See instructions below for header formats. 

Remember that YOU are your audience!

Other students are going to be referencing your guides to help them with their writing.

LibGuides Basic Editing

1. Search up "Meme Generator" on Google
2. The first option that should come up is "Meme Generator - Imgflip/"
3. After getting to this website, you will be able to choose an already existing image, or upload your own. 
4. Once you have your image, there are text spaces where you can type. Once you type your words will automatically appear on the picture. Format it to your liking.
5. Lastly, hit generate. You will see a hyperlink which is crucial to have for the lib guide. Copy and paste and you are all set.

4. Select "Labeled for non-commercial reuse"
5. Images will be sorted out to ones that can be used
