scoped search tool that I will be working to integrate so that our subject specialists and instructors can generate code to include on their subject pages or course guides
I realy like some of what Plymouth State is doing to allow browsing by LC subject. If you click, for examle, Sociology, you are taken to a sort of socioloy portal that contains links to course guidelines, relevant databases, pre-populated searches of the OPAC, reference materials, websites, and the sociology librarian's contact info. Click on a pre-populated OPAC search and you are able to broaden/narrow the search by clicking tags as well as bookmark or choose from RSS options.
LibGuides - Knowledge Sharing for Libraries
LibMarks - Social Bookmarking and Tagging for Libraries
Came across these SpringShare tools today - LibGuide (for subject guides) and LibMarks (social bookmarking for libraries)...
Darthmouth uses LibGuides for their subject guides. http://libguides.dartmouth.edu/ . Looks really cool!
Good example of an At a Glance Branch page that incorporates key information:
-hours
-map
-floor plans
-contact info
-service points
-subjects
-equipment
really nice site...
click on the links in the "Browse Subjects" section to see an ajax-y popup...
Also, they use a google map for their "Library Locations" page. We should do that!
