• Easy to use! • Cheap!
– Based on FTE (< $0.30)– Really less than that – graphic add-on
LibGuides – Who?
• Springshare - http://springshare.com/ – They have all the techies– They built it – we came!
• ECU– Librarians, for now– Staff, training in process– It’s as easy as using a word processor
Springshare Resources
• Springshare Lounge– Blog– Newsletter– Springycamp– Suggestions– Other librarians with great ideas– http://springsharelounge.com/
