In order to make your LibGuide course guides findable in Course Help searches, you will need to follow these Naming Conventions:
1. Please use the new longer Course subject abbreviations and numbers that are used in the CU Course and Time Roster to name your guides.
Course and Time Roster http://registrar.sas.cornell.edu/courses/roster/SP09/
For example, the old WRIT 142 abbreviation and number for Writing 142 is now WRIT 1420. If there is more than one section of a course, please add the section number after the course number, as in WRIT 1420.102. Note the period between the course number and the section number.
In order to avoid confusion with any older or future classes that may use these same abbreviations and numbers, please add a comment to your LibGuide Short Description that you fill out when you create your guides to indicate what year and/or semester your guide is from:
ENGL 1558.106: Hooking Up -- Literary Collaboration
A research guide to information resources and library services for a Fall 2008 First-Year Writing Seminar.
http://guides.library.cornell.edu/collaboration
You may also want to write out the department name in your LibGuide Short Description. (e.g. English 1558.106 for ENGL or Writing 1420 for WRIT)
2. For guides that apply to more than one course (whether they are cross listed or not), separate each full course number by a slash, GOVT 4837/STS4831, unless all of the cross listed courses share the same number, GOVT/CAPS 3857.
Also, if you want any course guides that you created last semester or earlier to show up in the Course Help search results, you will need to go back and rename your course guides using the new abbreviations and numbers.
If you have any questions or concerns about these Naming Conventions, or run into problems not covered by these rules, please contact one of the LibGuides Committee members listed below, or write to our LibGuides listserv at cul-guides-l@list.cornell.edu.
