Abstract

In 2019, the Borough of Manhattan Community College’s library undertook a massive cleanup and reconfiguration of the content and guides contained in their LibGuides v2 system, which had been allowed to grow out of control over several years as no one was in charge of its maintenance. This article follows the process from identifying issues, getting departmental buy-in, and doing all of the necessary cleanup work for links and guides. The aim of the project was to make their guides easier for students to use and understand and for librarians to maintain. At the same time, work was done to improve the look and feel of their guides and implement the built-in A-Z database list, both of which are also discussed.

照料杂草丛生的花园

2019年，曼哈顿社区学院的图书馆对其LibGuides v2系统中的内容和指南进行了大规模的清理和重新配置，由于没有人负责维护，该系统多年来一直失控。本文将遵循从确定问题、获得部门支持以及为链接和指南执行所有必要的清理工作开始的过程。该项目的目的是使他们的指南更容易为学生使用和理解，并为图书管理员维护。同时，还对指南的外观和感觉进行了改进，并实现了内置的A-Z数据库列表，并对这两个方面进行了讨论。
