Abstract
GIL-FIND, the open source library resource portal, was integrated with Voyager at 6 pilot sites. Library staff at these sites are now using GIL-FIND in their daily interactions with students and faculty. This presentation will explore the use of GIL-FIND in reference and instructional settings . Instructional videos/tutorials, LibGuides pages, help tips, and reference anecdotes will be shared and discussed. Marketing initiatives employed to introduce GIL-FIND to our users, as well as surveys and usability tests conducted to assess the features/functionality of the GIL-FIND interface will also be showcased. See how GIL-FIND has gotten our library OPAC to meet Web 2.0!
