Resources we should know about as students and librarians!

Citation: Digital Collections. 2016. Library Technology Reports, 52(2), 10-16.

This is a great article! Not only does it explain some of the history regarding open-access, it also describes where librarians, particularly those in academic libraries, find the resources to build a LibGuide.

The article gets started discussing the different elements of a LibGuide and what learning need that resources would fulfill.

The part that is really helpful, besides the demonstration of connection and linking, is the many lists of free resources. The author of the article categorizes or groups different types of open-access resources often utilized by librarians in order to guide their students. The article breaks the resources down between audio, visual, ebook, images, etc.

This is one article I had picked out towards the very beginning of the semester as a "must-read," and I just recently realized it would have been a great resource throughout the semester. If you are looking for supplemental material for a presentation or paper, I would highly recommend bookmarking this page.
