Innovative LibGuides Applications: Real World Examples shows both new and experienced users methods to utilize the platform in ways that they may not have previously considered. This includes topics such as website and learning management system integration, digital collections, data-drive decision-making, information literacy instruction, library administration, and a system-wide case study. Each chapter features ideas that you can implement immediately, or over time, as is appropriate to your own needs. Further, they are adaptable—tweak as you see fit!
Divided into sections, this book examines different uses and approaches to LibGuides:
· Website and learning management system (LMS) integration: examine how LibGuides can be used as, or closely integrated with, the library website and/or your institutions' LMS. Various examples are provided that you may be able to adapt at your own organization. Not every solution worked as anticipated—our authors address this, as well.
· Digital collections: Two alternate approaches are presented. One looks at exhibitions and their application as outreach tools. The other looks at creating a digital museum within LibGuides. These are "can't miss" chapters for those that wish to more deeply explore digital collections and LibGuides viability.
· Data-drive decision-making: Learn how some institutions are mining and utilizing data collected within LibApps/LibGuides. In both cases, the data examined helped institutions to improve library services while articulating a clear purpose (and use) for each data point.
· Information literacy: Explore two different methods for revamping your instruction program through utilization of the platform.
· Library administration: Discover how internal and external processes may be augmented through the use of LibApps/LibGuides.
· System-wide case study: See how a community college system in North Carolina has each implemented (or not) LibApps/LibGuides on their respective campuses. This section shows how different institutions may decide to use the platform in different ways—all while attempting to improve their own services.
Upon completion of this authoritative LITA Guide, readers will come away with the knowledge and tools to maximize their LibGuides experience.

      In less than a decade, LibGuides has become a widely adopted mainstay for the support of library instruction and promotion. This new collaboration by Dobbs (library, Shippenburg Univ.; Using Library Guides To Enhance Library Services) and Sittler (library, California Univ. of Pennsylvania; Library Instruction Cookbook) shares creative uses for LibGuides in seven categories: website integration; learning management system integration; digital collections; data-driven decision making; information literacy; library administration; and system-wide case study. Their companion book, Integrating LibGuides into Library Websites (reviewed below), focuses more on pedagogy and usability. Written by and for web developers, public service librarians, and administrators, the case studies illustrate the efficiency and flexibility of LibGuides for both internal and public sharing of information. Segments of code provide details for customization. Various contributors share the pros and cons of their experiences with LibGuides. The chapters about digital museums and exhibits provide comprehensive details for those contemplating new projects. VERDICT This successful documentation of how LibGuides have come of age is recommended for current and future LibGuide practitioners.--Betty J. Glass, Univ. of Nevada Lib., Reno
