Submitted by lib_marketing on Tue, 09/22/2009 - 7:50pm

 

Western Libraries is happy to introduce LibGuides, a new way to navigate through the vast collection of resources available for your research. LibGuides is a wildly popular web application that assists Librarians in creating and organizing Help Guides designed to make the library easier to use.
 
Don’t know which database to use to find a peer-reviewed article? Need help searching for books in Summit? Trying to find a guide for your Marketing assignment? LibGuides provides the answers to all of these questions and more!
 
Western Libraries will be transitioning to LibGuides over the next few months and will be fine-tuning the website to make the guides easy to find. Eventually you will find guides from the library home page, MyWestern, BlackBoard, and wherever else we discover along the way. For now, the best place to start is the LibGuides home page.
