Session Details:

MyGuide is a research dashboard built that provides subject-based resources from LibGuides to your users based on their major, course enrollments, and department affiliations. The dashboard includes tabs for each major or course subject showing liaison librarians, databases, and research guides, as well as key circulation data (e.g. current checkouts, holds, and fines) for the user. By building on multiple external data sources, we aim to improve access to information without adding substantial new management burdens for library staff.

MyGuide is open source and available for you to use in your library. This workshop will demonstrate the MyGuide system and describe the components involved, as well as the work needed to set it up for your library. 

Presenter: 

Ken Irwin (he/him) is a Web Services Librarian at Miami University. He is interested in developing open-source solutions to solve challenging library issues and to make the most of our resources. His projects have included tools for managing and analyzing the use of library collections, a mechanism for "checking out" software licenses, and a game to improve students’ skills at understanding book and journal citations.
