To get to your administration area, where you can create or edit libguides, click on Research Guides from the library home page.

At the top right, under the blue header bar, click "Admin Sign In." Sign in using your username and password.

You will be taken to your "Admin" page, where you can create/edit/delete guides or customize your profile.

Before you create a guide, you should add information to your profile page. Your profile appears in the right column of every guide you create.  You only need to do this once.

Log into Libguides and click "Customize your profile"on the My Admin page.  Fill in the blanks.  The contact info box can contain several lines of text, so this is a good place to include a description of what kinds of services you offer.

To upload a picture, click the dropdown list and choose "Use a file from my computer." Click the Browse button and select the picture you want.

This is your default profile -- you can customize the way it appears on any of your guides.
