| Page | Web browsers would usually refer to this as a tab. This is a way to divide up the content of you guide into it's larger aspects. |
| Content item | Any of the 13 kinds of items you can add to a box. Basically this is the information that you will fill the box with. Perhaps the most common is Rich Text/HTML but there are Items that allow you to add such information as book information and RSS feeds. |
| Tag | Keywords you create that can be associated with your guide and would be used to help people find it when searching for it. |
| Subject | A term set by the system that you can select to categorize you guide. Unlike tags (above), subjects are set at the system level and cannot be changed or added to by individual users. |
| Asset | This is the term for content that is added within a box. You can add almost any type of content: Rich Text/HTML, (Library) Database, Link (URL), Media (video, etc.), Book (from the Library catalog), Document/File, RSS Feed, Guide List, Poll, or Google Search box. Find more about these assets in the "Adding Content" page of this guide. |

You don't have to re-invent the wheel. One of the benefits of the LibGuide system is that you have access to and the ability to reuse content of guides created by your colleagues here at LaGuardia or across the community of LibGuide users. The Library Department has also created a template to make things easier for you when you start out. See the image below: |
