COURSE-LEVEL RESEARCH GUIDES

• Summer 2009 – online guides revamped and expanded.

• Goal: a guide for every major subject area. • A place for every student to identify with

• Summer 2010 – Transfer to LibGuides

• Now: New guides are primarily course-level guidesE.g. Operations Management

• Used in classes as learning objects• Analyse statistics for use• Also need to assess applicability, usefulness

RESOURCE-SPECIFIC TUTORIALS

• Highest use: CINAHL, General EBSCOHost

• Video and print-friendly versions are nearly equal in popularity

• Next steps:

• Assess resource-specific tutorials • Points of access• format
