Found elements for this guide by searching SpringShare site.
Possible Pitfalls
• Must approach some offices/individuals with tact – don’t want to alienate stakeholders
• What makes YOU the expert?
• Can spend a lot of time making guides!
Value outweighs “cost”
• Fantastic ROI – as more faculty see guides, asked to create more guides
• Asked to present more frequently to classes/groups
• Good for students – guides are highly used and valued
• Good for faculty – great way to present/disseminate information
Woo Hoo -We’re
Number Nine!!
~Thank You~
