LibGuides
September 16th, 2009 — collaboration, ideas, information literacy, neat sites, research ideas, student learning, technology
Look what’s new and helpful for you! To help students readily access credible sources, we are creating libguides (research pathfinders) for your classes. If you sign up in the library, assign an outside project, or utilize the computer lab, we can create guides that are specific to your assignment.
Examples:
Culture & Food of China http://libguides.bvwlmc.com/culinary_arts
Systems/Utopia http://libguides.bvwlmc.com/utopia
AP U.S. History http://libguides.bvwlmc.com/orlowski
For more libguides that the librarians created, go to libguides.bvwlmc.com. Please send us an email or stop by to let us know if you would like a libguide created for your classes.
