Basic

You can generate links to a page listing your services on the Booking page tab.

Adding a scheduling link to your LibGuides Profile

This is how to add a button that says "Schedule Research Consultations" linked to your Bookings page.

 

Sign in to Lib Apps

On your page, go to the profile box and click the small pencil to edit.

Go to the last box of the options that says "Widgets"

In the text box you will write:

<a title="your bookings link" href= "your bookings link"
class="label label-info">Schedule a research consultation</a>

Where it says your bookings link in between the quotes, replace with your shared Bookings link. Then click the checkbox to save.

It will look like this:

You can change the language from "Schedule a research consultation" to whatever you want it to be by editing that section of the code.

Advanced, using tracking parameters

Tracking Parameters:

To keep track of where people have clicked on links, add the ?RefID= followed by the name of the parameter to the end of your shared page links that you embed in various places. For example the schedule me link on the LibGuides contact me information box ends in ?RefID=LibGuides. When you look at your downloaded data you will see this information in the last column titled "Tracking Data".
