Library Research Guide

Duke University's Rubenstein Library had an old version of the research guide, Highlights from Women's History Manuscript Collections at Rubenstein Library, that needed to be created in their content management system, LibGuides.

Approach:

  • Reviewed other Duke University Libraries’ LibGuides for style, tone, and layout
  • Created structure and layout of research guide using functionality in the LibGuides system

Solution:
I created a new research guide, guides.library.duke.edu/womenshistory, using the LibGuides content management system. Broken links were resolved and the guide was organized all within one page rather than multiple separate pages. This is one of the most used research guides at the Rubenstein Library and the new format allows for users to more easily browse the various topics from the women’s history manuscript collections.
