Research Guides (LibGuides) Highlight Library Resources and Services

LibGuides, also called subject guides or research guides, are mini websites individually created and easily updated by USD/Wegner librarians to highlight specific library resources or services. USD/Wegner librarians can add visual content (pictures of the libraries’ environments, images of book jackets, library training podcasts, etc.), hypertext links to library e-books and online journals, and links to training materials used for instructional purposes.

Benefits of LibGuides (Research Guides) include:

• • Professionally created by a health science librarian to focus on a particular health care topic and/or class. For example:
• Medical education (http://libguides.usd.edu/meded)
• Medical Ethics (http://libguides.usd.edu/medical_ethics) 
• Nursing (http://libguides.usd.edu/nursing)
• EndNote (http://libguides.usd.edu/endnote)
• eBooks in Health Sciences (http://libguides.usd.edu/wegner-health-ebooks)
• Scholarly Communication (http://libguides.usd.edu/scholarlycommunication)

All the LibGuides can be viewed (best if using Chrome or Firefox) at  http://libguides.usd.edu/

LibGuides provide a wealth of information for patrons and are not limited to just the library resources of USD. Our librarians encourage library exploration of our libraries’ LibGuides or Research Guides and welcome patron input on making these LibGuides even more useful.
