A Faculty and Librarian Collaborative Tool on Courses and Research

LibGuides is an online content management system that libraries primarily use to create and manage both subscription-based and recommended resources. Since 2010, over 20 course guides have been created for faculty . These guides feature recommended library resources such as databases, electronic journals, or videos, tutorials, or websites recommended for assignments. Guides have also been developed by the liaisons to support research teams by providing direct links to journals most consulted, provide a single location for a groups’ search alerts, or manage links to library resources needed by the group. These branded but flexible guides are a time saver for faculty which can be integrated into Blackboard. This presentation will give ideas on how faculty can collaborate with librarians on these guides.
