LIbguides Presentation: Widgets, Stats, and Links (Jennifer)

Widgets are handy. They let you insert functionality into a guide, or most any website.

Out of the box, you can create the following widgets:

• Guides - share lists of guides 
• A-Z List - share lists of databases 
• Users - share lists of LibGuides users / authors
• Subjects - share lists of your LibGuides subject categories
• Groups - share lists of your LibGuides Groups (CMS Only) 
• Tags - share lists of your LibGuides Tags
• Content Box - share a box from one of your guides
• Guide / Page - share a guide or page from a guide
• Search Box - share a box that searches either (a) your guides or (b) your databases

Go to Tools, then select "Widgets."

You can generate some pretty detailed statistics for your guides--pages, subpages, and links clicked.

System admins can see homepage hits and content summaries.

Note that reports are generated once a week, on Saturday.
