Propose a New Guide

Website Content Proposal
Post your proposal on the New Website Content Discussion board to get feedback from staff.

Your proposal should answer the following questions:
1. What is the title of the webpage, research guide, or video tutorial you are proposing?
2. Who is the audience for the content?
3. Describe the webpage in one or two sentences.
4. Talk with the audience for the content to find out what questions they have about the topic. Use the information you gathered to make a list questions your audience might have about the topic. Put the questions in order of importance.
5. When do you plan to have a draft of the content for review?
6. What are the learning outcomes for this tutorial? (Skip if this is a webpage or research guide.)
7. What additional information do you still need to gather before you create the content?

Create a Draft & Get Feedback

After you have received feedback on your proposal, create a draft of your research guide.

When you are ready to show your guide to others, change your guide's publication status to private. Find the post on the New Website Content Discussion board with your guide proposal and respond to it with a link to your draft. Library staff have one week to offer feedback.

Revise Your Draft & Publish the Guide

Make changes based on suggestions from library staff and then change your guide's publication status to Published.

Contact the Web Services Librarian to tag the guide for a specific subject (e.g. Library Staff Guides, Psychology, etc.) so that it will appear on the Research Guides page.
