Adding Rich Text/HTML

This is a rich text. Use it to write paragraphs, insert images, and create headings. Don't put a lot of links directly in a rich text box because:

• link checker will not check the link
• statistics are not collected for the link

Adding Links

Below is a list of links which were added as Links. This is the best way to add multiple links to a LibGuide because:

• link checker checks the link
• statistics are collected for the link

Best Practices - Adding Links

The video below explains why it is better to avoid the use of Richtext boxes if you want to share a list of links. If the link is a database, you should add a Database rather than a Link.
