Profile Page

Profile pages are automatically generated, except for the bio under the About Me heading. All profile pages require:

  • A Profile Box
  • Subject Specialties (if any)
  • a List of Published Guides
  • A brief bio of the Librarian

We recommend that the bio include a synopsis of your expertise and information such as relevant degrees and experience.
