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

Library outreach can be tough: There’s no standard definition of
outreach among libraries, and what it consists of differs from
institution to institution. Some libraries focus on marketing and
advertising services, while others concentrate on relationship
building with their constituents. Some focus on fun events to coax
people into their facility. The cases in The Library Outreach
Casebook provide creative and reproducible formats, ideas, and
inspirations, from engaging social media to hosting performances to
creating exhibits. Expert chapter authors take you from the
beginning steps—determining which tools and resources you need
for your outreach efforts—all the way through implementation of a
variety of outreach initiatives, and every step in-between. Divided
into three sections—Starting Strategies, Programing and Event
Planning, and Outreach to Select Populations—this casebook is
designed for librarians working in all types of libraries to use as
a tool to start or further their current outreach efforts. The
Library Outreach Casebook provides readers with many different
approaches, formats, and solutions that lead to successful
outreach.
