For the full list of our client libraries (on one page) check out http://www.libguides.com, or if you would like to see our libraries grouped by State/Country, visit the community site (http://community.libguides.com) and select "Browse Institutions".Academic LibrariesAcademic libraries use LibGuides to create and maintain subject guides, course guides, research information, etc. (for example, see Cornell, UT Tyler, or DePauw) Some university libraries even use LibGuides to create and maintain their library website (Scottsdale CC Library, or Walters State CC Library). Many libraries also license multiple LibGuides systems and use them to communicate with patrons, but also as an internal staff communication, professional development, and collaboration tool.Public LibrariesPublic libraries use LibGuides to create subject guides and informational websites on various topics of interest to their community. A great example is the "Explore" website at the Burlington County Public Libraries (NJ) - http://explore.bcls.lib.nj.us, with so much useful information for patrons of all ages and interest groups.Special LibrariesLibGuides is an ideal solution for Special libraries to easily create, publish, and maintent useful guides and content for their clients. For example, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and NASA Glenn Space Center use LibGuides to connect with clients and help them with their research.School LibrariesFor busy and understaffed school librarians LibGuides is a great tool to publish useful information, topic guides, and homework help for students. The librarians at Northfield Mount Hermon school did just that.See the full list of LibGuides client libraries |
