Reviews of LibGuides From Around the Web

We live and breathe this stuff so naturally we think LibGuides is great, but to hear kudos from librarians on a daily basis is something else! The blogosphere is buzzing about LibGuides, for a good reason - LibGuides is an innovative library 2.0 application that connects libraries with their community, promotes library content, and highlights the knowledge of librarians. And it makes you look cool in the process!

Below are the LibGuides reviews we found on the web:

We also found a few dissenting opinions. The blog posts below outline some important issues every library should consider before committing to LibGuides - issues regarding creating useful content, as well as the "make vs. buy" decision. These bloggers were very kind and have graciously agreed to post our response to their concerns (via comments). We encourage you to read these blog posts but also to read comments, to get a complete picture of the issues involved.

  • LibGuides thoughts by Librarysupportstaff takes on the issue of LibGuides license and the issue of make vs. buy.
