Internal Note

The edits made strive to maintain consistency in regards to font, boldface/italicized lettering,
and white space. The style guide proposed was made from communications about past projects
revolving around the libguide. Please use the style guide as our reasoning for all changes we have
made. Communicate what you would like to change and we will make the necessary changes consistent throughout the website. I also believe that the login information for the library is out of date. The
current login informations asks for the NID and NID password whereas the libguide asks for the PID.
