“…The courses the MSLC works with could thus see more in-depth search for applicable information sources, using syllabi and topic/content lists. Working with the MSLC was similar to Chiware (2014) working with the School of Economics. Figure 2 outlines the content of a course guide created during this project.…”

Librarian-created course guides were created at The Ohio State University using the LibGuides system, with 460 courses being connected to undergraduate courses in six departments. The process of identifying content, creating guide templates and courses, and working with staff members doing remote work projects is covered. A special subset of the guides involves a more intense examination of courses' content and the collaboration of the campus's Mathematics and Statistics Learning Center. Guide use in the first semester and future directions are discussed.

“…However, promotion in the LMS or in the classroom somewhat encourages student discovery. This counters the commonly accepted view that promotion of guides during instruction sessions is essential for guide use (Chiware, 2014).…”

“…The researchers do not just rely on Web usage statistics but also on student and librarian feedback to see whether students found the guides useful and what design practices improve use. Their conclusions add to the growing body of research about patron use of guides embedded in course pages (Wakeham, Roberts, Shelley, & Wells, 2012;Chiware, 2014).…”

“…Many libraries use the LTI tool available in Springshare's own CMS package (Richards, 2016), but some institutions have created their own LTI program (Daly, 2010;Fagerheim et al, 2017). Automating the integration process can present technical or logistical challenges, but the alternative of manual linking has been viewed as unsustainable and/or inconsistent (Chiware, 2014;Fagerheim et al, 2017;Garofalo, 2014;Hristova, 2013).…”

Academic librarians face increasing challenges when trying to connect their services and resources with faculty and students, especially as courses move online and are taught by adjunct faculty. Online research guides, most commonly LibGuides, can be automatically inserted into course shells within Learning Management Systems (LMS) using Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI) protocols, but an alternative to automatic integration is for librarians to match and suggest appropriate subject guides to faculty for inclusion in their courses. Personally matching and recommending LibGuides to faculty can be an effective form of library outreach and relationship-building. This article describes a pilot project of suggesting specific LibGuides to faculty and its success in forging and strengthening several library-department connections.
