Join the LITS sub-committee for a two part series on coding in SpringShare’s LibGuides platform! The first session of this series will introduce learners to the basics of HTML and CSS and how to use them in the platform. This will cover basic HTML tags, applying basic CSS styling, how to use the widget tool in SpringShare, how to embed online content, and how to hide elements. This class will focus on introducing these concepts in a practical setting that will allow users to gain hands-on experience. The elements and activities that will be introduced in this course will be built upon in the intermediate session, which will be the second class of this series. Participants of all comfort levels with HTML/CSS in LibGuides are encouraged to attend this series.
