Aaron Dobbs, Systems Librarian at Shippensburg University, knows his technology. He writes, "I've enjoyed working with the LibGuides and LibAnswers administrative tools. We were constrained by a requirement to match our university homepage's visual design, and Springshare gave me the tools to match the university look and feel with ease." Aaron's also done some really nifty work integrating LibGuides and LibAnswers - check out the 'Instant Answers' widget on their LibGuides home page!
Doug Cook, an instruction librarian at Shippensburg, commented on how LibGuides helps him reach sleeping students: "LibGuides allows me to provide students with contextualized, point-of-need, and assignment-related information. Even if students can't stay awake during my workshops, they can find out what I said after they take a nap."
Kirk Moll, another LibGuides aficionado, also shared his thoughts with us on how LibAnswers helps them meet the needs of the university community: "It finally gives us a highly accessible place to put answers to repetitive questions. It also enables us to provide easy links to troublesome technical questions and the opportunity to grow a really useful knowledge base to meet our users' self-service needs. We look forward to growing our virtual help capabilities with LibAnswers!"
Thanks, Aaron, Doug & Kirk! We're lucky to work with Shippensburg, and we're glad that LibGuides & LibAnswers help you to provide user-centered help to your community!
