[LIBRARYDIR] LibGuides CMS

[Kelly, Amy]

Hi Jessica,

We use LGCMS for not only our library website, but also our Center for Teaching and Learning. It works well for us because we need to be more nimble and flexible than the college web structure allows.

Our systems librarian, Lily Kun, is off contract until mid-September; she's really the expert. However, I would say that it is user-friendly (no real coding needed), but it's not quite as easy as a LibGuide. There is a lot of training available virtually, too.

Warmly,

Hello!

Does anyone use LibGuides CMS <https://www.springshare.com/libguides/cms.html> to create your own library website? We are trying to revamp our library website and were looking at options on how to do so.

If you do use LibGuides CMS, how user-friendly is it? Do you need a lot of experience in coding or is it as easy as making a LibGuide?

Thanks!
