LibCal Support for JIBC Staff: Linking Your Booking URL

Introduction

There are several ways to make your booking URL more findable and visible to your students:

  • Give your appointment booking page its own customized URL and add this link to your email signature
  • Add a departmental booking URL to your department's homepage

Friendly URL

You can give your appointment booking page its own customized URL. Although optional, this will make it much easier to link to and share the URL to your public appointment booking page.

  • The text you enter here will appear after /appointments/ (e.g. yourlibrary.libcal.com/appointments/my-friendly-url).
  • Important note: friendly URLs are case sensitive and can only contain letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens. For best results, we recommend using all lowercase letters.

Create a Friendly URL:

  1. Go to Appointments
  2. Then go to My Settings tab

       3. Go to Appointment Settings -> Friendly URL

Add your customized URL to email signature example:

Departmental URL

A departmental booking URL that includes all LibCal users in your department is available upon request. We recommend adding this link to your department's homepage to make it easier for students to find and book time with the staff they want to talk to. To request the departmental booking URL, email Crystal Yin, Electronic Resources and Systems Librarian, at cyin@jibc.ca.
