LIS-5513 Info Sources & Services (Reference)

Analysis
The LibGuide I created for this course successfully met several key learning objectives. It showed my ability to conduct an effective reference interview by identifying user needs and providing relevant resources. I used efficient search strategies and basic reference sources to help answer patron questions. The guide also acted as a subject guide, demonstrating my skills in creating pathfinders. Plus, I explored new technologies to make sure the guide was easy to use and accessible, which improved the overall information services. This project helped me connect with professional discussions by staying in line with current trends in reference services.

The LibGuide was successful because of its clear organization, reliable sources, and focus on the user. However, I think it could be improved by adding more interactive features or multimedia resources to make it more engaging. Through this process, I learned the importance of balancing detailed information with ease of use, making sure the content is both comprehensive and easy to navigate.
