Sure, your patrons can use Google, Wikipedia, and your federated search tool to find information. But you, the librarian, are the key to successful research. Nobody knows research better! You're the information superhero, the knowledge professional, the info sage. With LibGuides you help patrons find the stuff they need and show them information they didn't even know existed. Integrate web chat inside your guides and patrons can even ask you for help in real time, while doing research. LibGuides' flexibility and ease of use empowers librarians of any technical skill level to quickly and effortlessly create content-rich, web 2.0 multimedia guides and share useful information with patrons.
Using LibGuides widgets and our extensive API, libraries can distribute their content into other websites, blogs, and courseware systems. Our Facebook applications help you promote your library on Facebook. Twitter integration means the library content is available on the Twitter universe. By integrating with many social websites LibGuides connects you with patrons wherever they are. This additional exposure leads to an increased use of your library's resources and services. Spend only a few minutes using LibGuides and you will be impressed - and your patrons will be too!
