Springshare Support Blog

One more reminder that Springshare will be attending the ACRL conference in Seattle this upcoming weekend.  Please visit us at Booth #639 and be sure to bring your questions and suggestions related to LibGuides!

More importantly, there are seven (!!) presentations discussing real-world examples of LibGuides and its impact on student research.  You can find a list of these presentations on the Springshare Lounge ACRL page or by viewing the ACRL conference program.

Online discussions of LibGuides are coming at a fast-and-furious pace these days; here are a few of our favorite blog posts and reviews from the last few weeks:

Here are the most recent stats for the LibGuides community!  Despite being a short month, new records were set across the board, with all-time high numbers of unique visitors and page views.  February was also the first time that our community reached over 1,000,000 individual visits in a single month!
