TEAR DOWN THE WALLS: LibGuides and Evolving Learning Spaces

Learning spaces continue to evolve as web tools further erase the physical walls of  classrooms, libraries and other educational settings. This session examines the use of LibGuides, a web 2.0 content management and information sharing system designed specifically for libraries but being used at Passaic County Community College as a collaborative tool for courses.

This hosted service offers opportunities to create and share reuseable content, tagging, widgets, embedded video, RSS, and easy integration with other tools like Delicious and Facebook.
