Another use for Libguides is as an aggregation point.. When a faculty member or group asks you to look for resources, it’s easy to put what you have on a guide. This makes it easy for the faculty to refer back to and you can add and subtract as the conversation continues. This is a one-page guide I made for a faculty member who asked me to come up with some resources for her intermediate algebra class
