• Label your profile box wisely – generally, "Librarian for" and the appropriate subject area
• Keep your profile box in the left of the homepage under the contents box so profile boxes are in a consistent place
  • Your profile box must be on the home page of subject guides
  • This does not have to be included on each page of the guide
  • Some general guides (e.g. APA Citation Guide) can use a general profile (BLREF, Gov Docs, or Archives)
• We encourage you to add a photo of yourself to your profile but do not require it
  • Do not add a photo that is not of yourself
  • Photos make the profile stand out and highlight contact information
• You can add your own chat widgets if you wish and you log on consistently
  • Contact the administrator of the chat system to set this up
• You can add a button to allow patrons to schedule an appointment
  • Contact the administrator to set this up
• You can edit your profile and add icons for social media that you consistently check
