• Promptly update broken links when the Web Services Librarian notifies you of any issues. (You can also use Springshare's link checker in LibGuides by visiting Tools > Link Checker.)
• Before the beginning of each semester, review all guides to see if there are any resources (databases, ebooks, etc), that can be added to the guide.
• Each time a course is being offered, allow the instructor(s) to review any relevant course guides so that he or she can suggest any updates.
• Check out the Statistics menu for a host of reports which can tell you how your guide is being used.

• 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.

Reusing Content from Other Sites

You can also embed content from the Libraries' Help site or the Knowledge Market Resource Market. The video below will walk you thought that!

• Check your guide on multiple devices with different screen sizes to ensure that your guide functions well and important content is still on top.
• Shrinking and expanding your browser window can show a similar effect of how your guide will appear on a smaller or narrower screen.

Guide authors should continue to monitor new and changed resources for inclusion in their Subject Guides.  Keep the guides in mind whenever a new database (or a link change) is announced, when new editions of books (especially reference books) become available; etc.  

If a guide is no longer relevant or was created for a class that is no longer taught then consider changing its status it to private. 

A private guide is preferable to an unpublished guide because anyone with the guide URL will still have access to it. Unpublished guides are hidden from all users, and should be reserved for guides that are under construction.

If you just want to save a "historical copy" of your guide, export the guide as HTML or XML and delete the original. (Plus, old guides can be found in the Internet Archive.)
