Learning From Each Other The whole point of attending conferences is to learn from others. To get inspired by what they’re doing and see if…

One More LibConnect New Features Webinar!

May 31, 2022 | By Talia

Blurg, Internet issues happen – and usually, right before a webinar you’re set to deliver. Right?! Alas, this is exactly what happened to Springy Talia just minutes before her LibConnect: New Features webinar last week. She had to postpone, but rescheduling it for the Friday right before the long Memorial Day weekend was not the best idea. Let’s blame a lack of coffee for that decision! So, we’re scheduling one last…

We’ve been so encouraged to see all the amazing implementations of LibCal’s Interactive Mapping tool across many different libraries from large public libraries to small academic ones.

15 Years of Springshare!

May 2, 2022 | By Lilly

April 30th marked the 15th anniversary of the first LibGuides install! That’s right, if LibGuides were a person, it would be eligible for a learner’s permit in many states. While we won’t be pursuing that particular right of passage, we thought it would be fun to take a stroll through the Springy archives and look at how much Springshare has grown since that fateful day back in 2007. A Look…

When your patrons find a search box, they tend to enter really anything into it – even if it’s not the right search tool for their needs. They’re searching for articles in your room reservation system or trying to find museum passes in your discovery layer.
