Using LibGuides to plagiarise copy others’ work

Want to use content you or someone else has created to save yourself some hard work?

You can either copy (creates a new copy of it that you can edit) or link to (puts the item on your page but you can’t edit it, and if it’s changed in the original place it changes on your page too) boxes or pages from other LibGuides.

To do this:

  1. click “Add new Side Box” or “Add new Box”
  2. under “Type of Content” select “link to another box” (if you want changes in the original to show on your page) or “copy another box” (if you want to edit it)
  3. select the guide you want to find the box on
  4. select the box you want to use
  5. click “Create Box”

As examples, you might be interested in:

  • copying “Finding Chemical Engineering books” from my Chemical Engineering guide (then editing the title and text in your own copy) – this includes a course code search box that links directly into the catalogue
  • linking to “What’s a call number?” also from my Chemical Engineering guide – this has a picture and a link to the call number tutorial pages.
