Last Day of Instruction: LibGuides

I introduced the librarian cohort to LibGuides, thanks to the generosity of the publisher SpringShare and their sales and marketing founding partner, Mazen Koury. He granted Yerevan State Medical University at subscription, based on the country's HINARI status that limited the ability to acquire a wide variety of databases. I have a great class and a great translator, and with slow and and deliberate demonstration and explanation, we were able to create several new beginning guides for their institution, on topics such as allergy treatment by homeopathy, resources on stress, anesthesiology, tuberculosis, family medicine, and biostatistics. One of the great things about libguides is the ability to wait to publish during the guide polishing stage, which is where YSMU is right now.
