Launching LibGuides: Custom Research Solution Portals

Today we launched a new service – LibGuides. You can view  now or find the link to this resource located in the left navigation bar on the Library Web site.

LibGuides are multimedia web-based portals that connect the user to subject-specific guides presented in an innovative and user-friendly format.  These guides are compiled, developed, and maintained by staff.  Check out one of our New LibGuides devoted to Mobile Resources and apps!

Many of the LibGuides’ links are to full text documents, and often to RSS feeds, videos, and audio presentations. All the LibGuides are focused on customized topics relevant to the research and medical activities of Memorial Sloan-Kettering. 

What’s great is that we get to share our sites with other LibGuide developers and can search and explore over 134,000 guides designed by over 27,000 librarians at over 1,800 libraries worldwide (stats as of 01/20/2011).  Now that’s a community of active and like-minded professionals!

To learn more about this new service or to request a LibGuide, MSK staff should contact Donna Gibson.
