LibGuides

From LISWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

LibGuides is a commerical hosted Content Management System (CMS) marketed to libraries and made by Springshare. Additional components such as a calendar (LibCal) and knowledgebase (LibAnsnwers) may be licensed.

Alternative products include open-source systems such as SubjectsPlus and other homegrown modules.

Due to the open-ended nature of how LibGuides can be edited, guide pages can be prone to appearing as an inconsistent and unorganized frontier due to the disparate perspectives of editors. It is important to have guidelines in place regarding the publishing of web content within such a system.
