Re: [LM_NET] Springshare LibGuides

[Thomas Kaun <tomkaun@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi, Floyd.
I've look at it and am tempted to give it a try.
It costs about $900/year and as far as I know, no school library has a
subscription yet.
Looks very interesting to replace web pages of subject links as well as
other interesting stuff.
They were very good about directing me to reviews, across the spectrum, of
the service. There's been a good bit of blogging about it by academic and
public library folks.
Let us all know if you decide to give it a go.
