TOPIC: ‘LibGuides’. Join your group members for a lively discussion on this online resource that lets you share information with your users. Learn how colleagues are using LibGuides for teaching and learning at their institutions. Share experiences and get practical ideas and strategies for integrating best practices at your own campuses. We would like to host some presentations, share resource links and have a group discussion. We are open to having several presenters, addressing issues below:
- Pros and Cons of LibGuides (covering technical issues and best practices for instituting these guides)
- Instructional issues related to LibGuides
- Share positive methods and experiences using LibGuides through CMS (course management systems) such as WebCT, Blackboard or Moodle.
