Emily Brennan is a librarian at the USC Norris Medical Library who created LibGuides to improve instruction and outreach. She migrated content from old student portals into the new LibGuide system, adding media and layered pages. Usage statistics show the guides are well used, with hits in the thousands for key guides. LibGuides provide benefits like centralized resources, flexibility, usage data, and improved communication between librarians and patrons.
