Changing your password

Your Profile

To create or edit your profile, go to your email on the top right area, and find "My Account". In the command bar at the top, click on "My Profile" to customize your profile box. These are HBLL conventions recommended to keep profiles consistent in style:

Profile Box Title Your job title (ex: European Studies Librarian)
* Try to keep it short and accurate
Profile Image

Upload a PROFESSIONAL IMAGE of yourself from your computer. Make sure the image is not distorted, has good resolution, and is not too small or too big.

* If you haven't had your picture taken, ask the LAO Secretaries to have it scheduled.

Adding a Chat Box with your profile for LibraryH3lp

  • To add a Chat Box to your profile, paste the LibraryH3lp code in the box marked Chat Widget Code. Be sure to Refresh the screen to see the real chat box appear.
  • If you don't want to have the chat box as part of your profile box, you can also create a separate chat box and place it just below your profile box. You can also copy a box from the system (someone in your department).
     
  • Keep your profile box on the TOP RIGHT SIDE of the page.
  • LibraryH3lp widget codes for each HELP DESK/REFERENCE area are found in the tab "LibraryH3lp Widgets" in this guide.
