44. #1… Add a survey to the guide, (if
teacher is interested), Suggest to
teachers that they use survey as an
optional homework assignment.
.
45. #2… Create a guide of reusable
boxes that you can store in one
place, and copy from later.
46. #3…Build your confidence (and
LibGuide collection) by selecting a
template on a general topic of
interest to the library, (e.g., Banned
Books) that needs little to no editing
47. #4…Reach out to teacher’s
individually, rather than reaching
out to department heads.
48. #5…Add a Table of Contents box to
home page if your Guide has more
than one page.
51. #8…Offer teacher’s a tour of the
guide, (either to them individually,
or to the class). If you present the
guide to the class, try to keep the
presentation under 15 minutes
52. #9…Have students follow a guide
presentation using chrome books or
laptops. This gives them hands-on
experience!
53. #10…email link of the guide to
relevant teacher and encourage
them to link your guide on their
class Website
54. #11…Use the excellent LibGuide
Training and tutorials to expand
your skills. I especially like the
archived Training Webinar
Recordings.
