Connecting with Students in their Digital World

Abstract

More than three dozen academic libraries have used a new tool called LibGuides to create new kinds of research guides with a 2.0 look and feel. Librarians from the University of South Carolina will show how LibGuides has transformed their web presence by streamlining resources into a more dynamic and intuitive experience for their patrons. Boston College’s LibGuides project leader will show how LibGuides has changed not just the research guides but the librarians who created them, helping them shape and manage their online presence and interaction with students.
