Great guide and way to encourage OER!

You mentioned a lack of link tracking as a con. I would like to suggest using the LibGuide assets. We have put links in the assets, grab the asset ID, and then use this code for the link in the guide html:

<a href="WEBSITE URL" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: 'ASSET ID'});">TEXT FOR PEOPLE TO CLICK </a>

When looking at asset statistics, you can get counts on the link 😊

Excellent suggestion, thanks! I'm interested in seeing if Springshare could add a way to set up tracking within the linking tool in the rich text editor itself, but this could definitely get the job done!
