These are research guides for Biology and Fashion Merchandising I created for MCC Library, using the popular library content management system LibGuides. We have a tendency to pack these guides with information – there’s so much we want our students to know! I try to make the content and the presentation clear and appealing enough to lessen the potential to overwhelm students.
As a LibGuide admin, I have made site-wide modifications to several default features; these include increasing the font size, changing the font family, and darkening the text for better contrast. I learned a bit about Bootstrap, the LibGuides framework (via Lynda.com), which enabled me to add features such as image captions and modal windows.
