This document discusses using LibGuides to provide library support for classroom needs. It highlights how LibGuides can be customized with subject-specific content to support student projects and assignments. Teachers are encouraged to share assignment details with the librarian so guides can be tailored to classroom needs. Usage statistics and student feedback can also demonstrate the value of LibGuides.
