Subject Guides Now Labeled as Research Guides

Over the past year, I conducted a survey of our students to find out what name they thought made most sense for our LibGuides. Students preferred “research guides” over “subject guides,” and “topic guides.” With this data in hand, I asked Arthur to approve changing the links on the library website that were labeled “Subject Guides” to “Research Guides.” Those changes are now live on the site.

On the LibGuides system, you’ll also see that where it used to say “Subject Guides” in the breadcrumb navigation on the top left, it now says “Research Guides.”
