Integrating LibGuides into Library Websites introduces ideas and
options for both newer users and administrators. This book covers
responsive, mobile-first web design, and provides overviews and
in-depth information for LibGuides authors and administrators.
Topics covered include: *Introduction: If you're new to LibGuides,
learn the ins and outs as well as how to maximize functionality
through the use of the new version and LibApps *Administration and
Management: Learn about the administrator's role in LibGuides and
how you foster cooperation and integration between content creators
and users *Usability and Accessibility: Using theoretical and
concrete ideas, improve LibGuides content and user experience
*Pedagogy: Through tips and best practices, learn how to enhance

Level-up your LibGuides content with improved accessibility and
usability. Imbue your LibGuides instructional support with sound
pedagogical theory. It's great to have a useful, accessible site as
a starting point. Take your LibGuides to the next level using sound
pedagogical design and practices. Through detailed instructions and
real life examples, this authoritative LITA Guide provides you with
the tools and knowledge to enhance and invigorate your LibGuides
experience.
Innovative LibGuides Applications: Real World Examples shows both
new and experienced users methods to utilize the platform in ways
that they may not have previously considered. This includes topics
such as website and learning management system integration, digital
collections, data-drive decision-making, information literacy
instruction, library administration, and a system-wide case study.
Each chapter features ideas that you can implement immediately, or
over time, as is appropriate to your own needs. Further, they are
adaptable-tweak as you see fit! Divided into sections, this book
examines different uses and approaches to LibGuides: * Website and
learning management system (LMS) integration: examine how LibGuides
can be used as, or closely integrated with, the library website
and/or your institutions' LMS. Various examples are provided that
you may be able to adapt at your own organization. Not every
solution worked as anticipated-our authors address this, as well. *
Digital collections: Two alternate approaches are presented. One
looks at exhibitions and their application as outreach tools. The
other looks at creating a digital museum within LibGuides. These
are "can't miss" chapters for those that wish to more deeply
explore digital collections and LibGuides viability. * Data-drive
decision-making: Learn how some institutions are mining and
utilizing data collected within LibApps/LibGuides. In both cases,
the data examined helped institutions to improve library services
while articulating a clear purpose (and use) for each data point. *
Information literacy: Explore two different methods for revamping
your instruction program through utilization of the platform. *
Library administration: Discover how internal and external
processes may be augmented through the use of LibApps/LibGuides. *
System-wide case study: See how a community college system in North
Carolina has each implemented (or not) LibApps/LibGuides on their
respective campuses. This section shows how different institutions
may decide to use the platform in different ways-all while
attempting to improve their own services. Upon completion of this
authoritative LITA Guide, readers will come away with the knowledge
and tools to maximize their LibGuides experience
