Internal documentation of library policies and practices with LibGuides: a survey and analysis

Abstract

Accurate documentation is important in all library areas, especially as workflows change quickly to adapt to new technologies, policies, and practices. Many library faculty and staff use online tools and in 2019, the author conducted a survey to learn if and how colleagues use internal LibGuides to maintain accurate internal documentation. This article presents the survey results and analysis, covering both internal LibGuide use and current library documentation practices more generally.
