Using Images in LibGuides

Icons, graphics and photos can be found in the Image Manager.

Upload images to your own image files to personal folders or share them using the Shared Library. There is a folder for each library location to house images for use among editors.

When using images, be sure to apply ALT-Text for accessibility purposes.

Accessing Library Resources

Include off-campus access information on your guide as needed. All database and link assets are already proxied in LibGuides so you do not need to proxy any links on your guides.
Use this text to provide information on accessing library resources, if needed:

How to Access Library Resources: Click the link to a library resource. You may be prompted to log in with your UC username and password. You may have to complete Duo Two-Factor Authentication as well.

These prompts can occur both on and off campus.
