GIC Members

This guide will have resources for GIC members and volunteers.

It will not be visible to the public (so you must be logged into LibGuides to see it).

All current members and volunteers should be able to edit this. GODORT members with Admin level accounts in LibGuides will also be able to edit this guide (and all). Current (Jan. 2022) GIC Admins for LibGuides are: Jennifer Castle, Jenny Groome and Marna Morland (Chair).

The list of members and guides will be on the Help/Contact page. If we can easily link to other GIC documents, we will do that instead.

Other GODORT Groups in LibGuides have some guidance and best practices pages/documents. Before we make our own, let's see if GODORT Steering and/or Tech committee comes up with something across the board.

Guide Editors

Creating a new topic

To add a new topic page to the main GIC guide, you first need to create a new guide.

This is due to the internal structure of LibGuides.

Here is a video I made very quickly (apologies but I didn't edit it). I can't upload to LibGuides because it it too large. - Jenny

After creating and publishing the guide, let admins (currently Jennifer Castle and Jenny Groome) know. They will then add the new topic guide to the main GIC guide.
