ITC: 104 - Using Library Guides in Your Classroom

Because of my new role as a director of an academic library, I have been taking deep dives into how libraries can help in the classroom. While I have always appreciated the role of the library, I now have a better understanding of libguides and how they can serve you and your students.

I was probably typical of most college students. I used Google and the general library database search engine. I was unaware of what libguides were and how they could help me.

Instructors are in the best position to guide students to these tools. Libguides can help reduce cognitive load as well as teach students about resources used in a discipline.

This episode will take a closer look at libguides. Specifically, we will examine why you would want to use a libguide for your course as well as ways to develop a libguide that will be used.
