Hi Catherine,
We have Schoology and libguides. In my experience it is rather like Shoology –
watching TV in black and white and Libguides watching in color. Both deliver
information but I find libguides dynamic and versatile, I find Schoology
informational, more organizational, static and less visual. I like the
richness of libguides. The fact that they can be inserted into teacher’s
Schoology pages is a “collaboration” that I like and that works. I also find
that as our teachers use Schoology more and see what work goes into creating
such a creature, they have more appreciation for what we do for our libguides.
I also like the fact that I choose to subscribe to libguides and I can change
my mind any time if something better comes along or not. If I dropped
libguides and chose to use Schoology alone I would lose my option of “choice”.
Since Schoology was an administrative decision, I would have little say to keep
or drop it. I like being at choice and not having to adapt to surprises any
more than necessary. I find that often what works well for the teachers and
administration does not always serve the library in the same way. Schoology is
great but I’m a libguide fan.

Hello there
I am wondering if i should renew my subscription to libguides. Our school is
looking to adapt a learning management system such as Canvas or Schoology. Do
you still find it useful to create libguides if you can create courses on these
learning platforms?
Many thanks in advance for your feedback.
And have a wonderful holiday.
Best,
