<p class="MsoNormal">The main pushback a library might get from their institution for doing this is if the campus maintains and enforces a style guide of some type (fonts, colors, logos, maybe even content). In that case, doing a libguides based primary site
for the library might be a harder sell. But otherwise, lots of advantages for both sides, as Kirsti points out.<o:p></o:p></p>
