Working with LibApps (HSL): Your LibApps profile

You will need to make sure you have selected LibApps in the blue drop down menu.

Go to the My Account tab on the orange toolbar.

For your LibApps account, enter your first name and your last name (with preferred degree credentials) in the last name field.

For example, if your last name is Smith and you have a MLIS then you'd enter Smith, MLIS for your last name. Here's Kate's profile box to show what it will display as:

You should also create an email signature to be used when you answer questions in LibAnswers.  Use </p> instead of the return key to create multiple lines in your signature.

• Change the Profile Box Title to your job description. This is found in the Title & Image section of the profile box.
• Upload a good headshot of yourself by switching the Profile Image drop-down menu to Upload a New Profile Image.
  • The picture should be around 200px wide by 275px tall.
  • If you need a professional photo taken, contact Aleah Howell

• Next in the Address section, enter the following code, replacing the red text with your email, phone number, or the friendly URL of your profile page:
