Embed Buttons
If you feel comfortable inserting HTML, Buttons can be wonderful tool for drawing user attention to key resources or content. To use the button below, copy the code and insert it as html in the LibGuides Rich Text Editor. Be sure to switch on the source code editor first! The button for this is located on the top-right of the rich text editor.
Replace the # with your hyperlink. Replace "Go Somewhere" with your resource. It's good user experience to name your buttons clearly. Don't name your button "more" or "learn more here." Sending people to Special Collections? Name the button "Go to Special Collections."
<a class="btn btn-spring" href="#">Go Somewhere</a>
<a class="pratt-btn" href="#">Go Somewhere else</a>
Go Somewhere else (muted)
<a class="special-btn" href="#">Go Somewhere else</a>

Make weird stuff
Have an idea for something weird and cool to put on your research guide?
- Maybe an Interactive Timeline? (ex: How Wine Colonized the World)
- How about a Story Map? (ex: Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights)
- Want to compare images with Juxtapose? (ex: Berlin 1945)
Let's make it happen! Email me if you have any questions and we'll figure it out.
