Archer Library Guides

Archer Library Guides most often serve as a starting point for student research. Library guides help users navigate the complex library and information landscape. But that's not all! Guides are also designed for library instruction sessions, developed to provide course or assignment resources, curate event and program information, and support library events, workshops, and presentations.

Library Guide Options

Archer Library guides generally fall into one of these four categories:

• Research Guides: Focus on specific subject areas and typically include library materials, eBooks, database recommendations, and internet resources.
   
• Course or Program Guides: Provide information and resources to support programs, courses, projects, or assignments. 
   
• Library Instruction Guides: Developed to be used in conjunction with library instruction sessions. Guides remain available to students even after they complete their course.
   
• General Topic Guides: Provide information on library events, workshops, presentations, and general topics of interest to library users.
