From Garbage to Garden: Composting Instructional Concepts to Improve Libguides

Abstract

LibGuides: we all have them (or something like them). If untended, broken links and out-of-date information can grow like kudzu. Most instructional librarians take a cursory glance over a guide before they teach a class, but subject guides and sites for courses that no longer come over for instruction may not get updated regularly. Knowing that hard work is better when done as a team, the Joyner Library Research and Instructional Services librarians roll up their sleeves each summer to conduct an annual cleanup project.
