About:
In this presentation, Katherine Howell, Librarian at North Carolina A&T State University, will describe a project in which she evaluated LibGuides, created best practices based on user experience studies, and developed a comprehensive template for use by colleagues in an effort to make subject guides more pedagogical. The presentation will include information on the process and best practices developed, as well as images of the template and an example guide that resulted.
This event will be streamed via Facebook Live!
