LibGuides: LibGuides Tips: Overview

How are LibGuides used?

Resource Guides

Most school librarians use LibGuides as a way to organize resources for students. Below are some examples created by Monroe One Region Librarians that are designed for specific research projects:

Great Gatsby Era Research

Mrs. Smith's Plant, Animal & Water Research Guide

Earth Science Landscape Project

Anatomy and Physiology

Gourmet Cooking

Research/Instructional Tools

LibGuides are also used as instructional tools - for instance, here is a citation guide. It's not dedicated to one specific research project:

MLA 8 Citation Guide

Library Web Pages

Since LibGuides keeps library resources so neat and organized, some libraries are using LibGuides as their library web pages. Here are some examples:

NYC School Library System

Brighton Twelve Corners Middle School

Honeoye Falls-Lima High School

From the Get-Go:

Most of the information in this guide is for those librarians who are already using LibGuides. If you haven't gotten started yet, you can watch the Building a Guide Basics video. If you're not the video webinar type, you can always contact me for a personalized training session. Or, you can do both: watch the video and then contact me. Whatever works.
