LibGuides was implemented to connect business students to library resources through the learning management system, updating static HTML pages into dynamic interactive guides that aggregate content from various websites into a single easy-to-use guide for students. The guides allow for incorporating Web 2.0 content, collaborative work on embedding information skills at the point of need within courses, and creating a more student-centered space that is available 24/7.
