Description
The archivist and electronic resources librarian at Gustavus Adolphus College present a pilot program for hosting finding aids for archival collections on LibGuides. We will discuss how the move to LibGuides version 2 presented a new opportunity for archives and e-resources staff to collaborate to enhance access to our collections, and to expand our use of LibGuides beyond standard course and subject guides. We will discuss our process for organizing and presenting finding aids on LibGuides version 2, share a small pilot collection, and touch on the challenges and benefits of using LibGuides as a platform for finding aids for archival collections.
