Clarification of Terms


​LibApps:

The collective term for LibGuides, LibWizard, and Springshare's other products.

LibGuide administrator:

A person with the ability to create or delete LibGuide accounts, change system settings, and edit or delete any content within an institution's LibGuide system.

​LibGuide editor:

A person who has been given the ability to edit (but not to delete) a specific LibGuide. At MDC, editing rights are granted at the discretion of the LibGuide owner.

​LibGuide owner:

The person responsible for maintaining a specific LibGuide. Typically, the owner is the person who created the guide, but ownership of a guide can be transferred to someone else. LibGuide owners have the ability to delete the guides they own. There is no such thing as a "co-owner." A LibGuide has only one owner, but may have one or more (or zero) editors.

​LibWizard:

The LibApp for creating forms, surveys, quizzes, and tutorials. If you have a LibGuide account, you may or may not also have a LibWizard account. Learning Resources employees may contact Erick Dominicis, Jenny Saxton, or Angel Hernandez for access to LibWizard.

​Springshare:

The company that provides the LibApps platform.
