Studies show that library guides are often difficult, confusing, or overwhelming, causing users to give up and just fall back on search engines such as Google. How can librarians create more effective, less confusing, and simply better research guides? In Modern Pathfinders: Creating Better Research Guides, author Jason Puckett takes proven ideas from instructional design and user experience web design and combines them into easy-to-understand principles for making your research guides better teaching tools. It doesn't matter what software your library uses; the advice and techniques in this book will help you create guides that are easier for your users to understand and more effective to use"-- |cprovided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 Research guides and instructional theory -- Learning objectives in research guides -- Learning styles -- Designing and writing for better usability -- Assessment -- Planning, coordinating, and administrating guides. 650 0 Electronic reference services (Libraries) |=^A493463 650 0 Research |xMethodology |xWeb-based instruction. |=^A97630 650 0 Library orientation |xWeb-based instruction. |=^A21646 650 0 Web-based instruction |xDesign. |=^A586064 650 0 Web-based instruction |xEvaluation. |=^A586064 650 0 Library Web sites |xDesign. |=^A561218 650 0 Libraries |xSpecial collections |xElectronic information resources. |=^A1423852 650 0 School librarian participation in curriculum planning. |=^A593818 650 0 Academic libraries |xRelations with faculty and curriculum. |=^A316222 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n12687721 938 Baker and Taylor |bBTCP |nBK0017983601 949 Z711.45 .P83 2015 |hJoyner48 |i30372016814169 |ojwjh 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 998 3847340
