Event Description
In this webinar, one academic librarian will relate her experience overhauling her institution’s LibGuides interface, developing resources to guide creation and formatting, and attempting creative approaches for encouraging ongoing maintenance, all with the goal of improving the usability of online research guides. Participants will learn of some practical strategies for reinvigorating LibGuides at their institution through the librarian’s experimentation with “LibGuide Editing Jamboree” events, “soft review cycles” with her colleagues, and the lessons learned along the way.
