Editor's Notes
Stereotype based on past personal experience
See collaborating with you as time consuming
School staff and faculty no longer sure of what to ask the librarian to do
See research as something students should figure out on their own
Once you learn a handful of functions, you’re really just peacing together boxes to makes pages, and pages to make a more complex guide.
Start by getting help from others who have a job, curriculum and students just like yours!
Request permission for more than one guide, then you can just pick and choose the boxes of your preference! Don’t forget to customize searches whenever possible, as seen in the next example.
(99% of the you are granted permission to use anotherguide as a template!))
Add a credit box at the bottom of your home page to give the source library credit.
Ask anyone if they have LibGuides and what and who uses it the most? Possibiliies are endless
Point out how this guide is customized
Can be used for SGO, and/or for bragging to administators
Guage how useful your guide is..
Help LibGuides take your library from any outdated or old fashioned impressions it may give to……Astor Place
