A LibGuide is a website that provides students with information on a specific topic. Some LibGuides facilitate access to a variety of information resources such as books, articles, videos, and web pages. Others serve as how-to manuals for tasks such as conducting research or citing sources. | |
A LibGuide can be associated with a particular course, or with a specific course assignment. Or, a LibGuide might serve as an online brochure of the resources and services provided by a computer lab or tutoring center. "Techie" ability, such as knowledge of HTML or JavaScript code (although it can be helpful), is not needed to create a LibGuide. All that's required is a basic awareness of best practices for website design, plus a little imagination. Got an idea for a LibGuide that can help your students succeed?
