Best Practices and Accessibility

Note: we are developing new templates to streamline the research guides.

We highly recommend using the Template Guide when you're creating new Research Guides or even when you're revising existing ones. This guide provides ready-made structure with a mix of mapped and copied boxes. Any box you don't want to use can be deleted, and boxes can be rearranged. Content in copied boxes can be edited; content in mapped boxes will be automatically updated as needed.

In general, when identical material is called for in multiple guides at the box or page level, consider re-using entire boxes or pages. Also consider reusing content and links from your colleagues' guides. Look for timely, properly formatted and accessible content to reuse.

These are STLCC guides that have been updated using the Template Guide and should meet accessibility standards. If you've updated your guide, we'd like to list it here, so let kabotsi@stlcc.edu know!
