Other institutions are also grappling what to call LibGuides and there are a couple of good user surveys available from a recent LibGuides discussion in the Springshare Lounge: What do you call them?
You can access the surveys at Reinventing Research Guides: LibGuides at Two Academic Libraries and Usability in the Library: LibGuides Reports
Extract from one of the reports: "It is clear that the most direct way to lead students to use a library subject or research guide is by having their instructor or GSI recommend it. When an instructor specifically recommends (or requires) the use of certain resources, students are sure to use them; this is most clearly demonstrated with course-specific guides. The more that faculty are aware of the existence of subject guides, and the opportunities for customization and integration with CTools, the better utilized they will be."

Opinion survey - New name for Template guide
The development of new libguides is now a daily reality. It's facilitated by
Katrina's Template Guide page where we could link a myriad of boxes from this page.
As you will see when you want to create a new box by linking it from this Guide, you just have to scroll down the menu and select "Template Guide by Katrina Keith". You will soon realise that you need to link a lot of boxes from this guide to yours, and you have to scroll down a lot of Libguides created by JCU Librarians to reach it.
After discussing with the creator/owner of this Guide, Katrina, about the fact that this page is too far below in the scroll-down menu, I suggested to change its name that will bring it the first one on the list. You'll find below suggestions (sorted alphabetically) for a new name for this useful and resourceful Guide. The eventual new name will just be apply to the Template Guide, not to all the libguides;-) Please vote for your prefered one (or suggest a new one):
1 and the only 1 Template guide
1001 boxes Template guide
A to Z Template guide
AAA-Template
ABC Template guide
Abracadabra Template guide
Absolutely amazing, marvellous and fantastic Template guide
Ali Baba Template cave
Poll will close on the 3rd of November, 2009 (as soon as the Melbourne Cup is over!!).
