Our research guides are now easier to use, with more resources and multimedia content.
Milne librarians have been working over the intersession to implement a new system for connecting users to important resources: LibGuides. The new system allows for easy creation of subject and class-related guides. It also allows librarians to incorporate a wider array of content than our previous system, including images, video and RSS feeds to provide subject-specific news and research headlines.
LibGuides pages replace the Resources by Subject pages previously used to help identify scholarly materials.
Users can browse the guides by subject or guide title, or search the guides for specific resources.
On some pages, users can provide feedback or suggest possible links for inclusion into guides.
Importantly, the system allows the librarians check links and to track which guides and links are being used. This helps us keep the guides up to date with content that users actually need.
Have a look at our new guides for Citing Sources and the topical guide about Haiti and the recent earthquake.
