Have you ever heard of a LibGuide?

LibGuide/Research guide is a term librarians use frequently when describing their resources. Honestly, it’s a bit of jargon term. Essentially, what we are talking about is a mini-website filled with information resources around a particular topic so you can easily navigate to them when you need them. Here at Lenoir-Rhyne, all of our Research Guides tend to follow a familiar format. I recently put together an 8 minute video going over "the what and the why" of Research Guides so you can feel comfortable in using them for your research.

I've been getting a lot questions about the new library website and library search lately. I want to cover a few Frequently Asked Questions about our new search service, Summon and share a video I made recently on how to use it. PLAY VIDEO HERE FAQs  Why do I get so many results? Summon searches about 100 online resources—most of our electronic collection and all of our ebooks!  That includes a number of large e-journal collections, not available through PowerSearch—scholarly journal collections from publishers like Wiley, Sage, Elsevier, and Springer.  We’ve also added selected open access content sources as well. The amount of “stuff” that is being searched is bigger than ever before. For this reason, be sure to take advantage of the various filters on the left hand side. When looking for research articles, students often select both "Full Text Online" as well as "Scholarly & Peer-Review” as the filters they automatically apply to ev
