[ISLMA-Share] Questions about LibGuides

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I would also like to sing the praises of LibGuides.  It is such a helpful
tool for students, and it has been the catalyst for collaboration
opportunities with teachers I don't always get to work with.  I like that
there are multimedia options so that I can include videos of tutorials for
the different resources.  It's also been great as an advocacy tool.  I can
show admin the data from the guides.  And I have even sent out links to
parents for guides to summer reading, which they have found to be very
impressive.

I truly think the LibGuides are worth every penny.
