LibGuides
September 19, 2007
Something new on the horizon that has lots of potential, LibGuides:
“LibGuides is a library 2.0 online publishing system. It combines the best features of social networks, wikis, bookmarks and blogs, to help librarians share information and promote library resources to the community. LibGuides is fully integrated with Facebook, and LibGuides widgets enable the distribution of library content on social networks, blogs, and courseware systems. Patrons can also subscribe to the email updates of their favorite LibGuides content. Simply put, LibGuides connects you with patrons, wherever they are.”

Also this blog http://onlinesocialnetworks.blogspot.com/ has a couple of recent posts about how Boston College and Dalhousie University are using LibGuides.
This is a possible topic for an upcoming meeting so check it out.
