[Web4lib] LibGuides

[Williams, Jennifer]

We've been using LibGuides for about a year now and the most popular guides we have are our sample MLA and APA citation guides and our course guides. Course guides are what we now use instead of powerpoints when we are asked to teach information literacy components for classes doing research papers. The students have continuous access to the LibGuide after the class is over with all the links and instructions they need for their assignments.
 
The best thing about LG is the staff. They are very quick to address any problems and very responsive to customer suggestions for product improvements. It is a growing company and they grow to their customers' needs.

Greetings ~

I have been assigned the job of creating one of the first LibGuides at my academic library.  I am familiarizing myself with how the Guides are set up and have been looking at what other academic libraries have put together.  I am trying to find out what others' experiences have been in creating the Guides, if you have any helpful hints and how useful your librarians and students have found them.

Thank you very much,

Michelle Strassberg
