This document discusses how Tri-County Technical College Library used LibGuides to improve communication between faculty and the library. It overhauled its website using LibGuides' templates and features. This allowed library staff to create subject guides for faculty and departments. It also used LibGuides to demonstrate library resources during interviews and give faculty sandbox accounts to explore the tools. The new site design helped promote library databases and services to faculty and better support their instructional needs.
