Posted on by

The library has recently added Using LibGuides to Enhance Library Services: A LITA Guide to our collection! Springshare LibGuides help to organize webpages and improve research experience and learning.  LibGuides also create an online community of librarians sharing their work and ideas. Topics in this one-stop reference include:

  • A showcase of 28 LibGuides with exceptional design and pedagogy — including one from the MSK Library!
  • Collaborating with faculty to embed LibGuides in course management systems
  • Creating a customized look to your LibGuides with enhanced functionality
  • Creating LibGuides that are mobile-friendly
  • Using Google Analytics and LibGuides
  • LibGuides as teaching tools

This resource may be found in TriCat, our library catalog.
