Abstract

Abstract The LibGuides platform, a content management system (CMS) from Springshare, has become an integral part of the online presence for many academic libraries. Neither Springshare nor other recent studies have provided an in-depth look at the evolving nature of LibGuides adoption, production and application across university and college categories. This study compared the prevalence and production of LibGuides to other forms of library guides at 799 academic libraries throughout the United States. LibGuides naming conventions were recorded and compared. The use of LibGuides CMS software to create library websites was also documented. This study found that there are clear differences in LibGuides adoption and production across various types of institutions. LibGuides naming conventions were fairly consistent across all types of institutions. Institutions using LibGuides software produced substantially more library guides than institutions without this software. A small but significant portion of all non-R1 libraries in this study are now utilizing LibGuides software to create the majority of their library websites.

无处不在的LibGuides:存在、生产、应用和约定中的变化

LibGuides平台是Springshare的一个内容管理系统(CMS)，已经成为许多学术图书馆在线存在的一个组成部分。无论是Springshare还是其他最近的研究都没有深入研究LibGuides在大学和学院类别中的采用、生产和应用的演变本质。本研究比较了美国799所大学图书馆中LibGuides与其他形式的图书馆指南的流行程度和制作情况。记录和比较LibGuides的命名约定。使用LibGuides CMS软件创建图书馆网站也被记录下来。这项研究发现，在不同类型的机构中，LibGuides的采用和生产有明显的差异。LibGuides的命名约定在所有类型的机构中都是相当一致的。使用LibGuides软件的机构比没有使用该软件的机构制作了更多的图书馆指南。在本研究中，所有非r1图书馆中有一小部分但很重要的部分现在正在使用LibGuides软件来创建大多数图书馆网站。
