Pathfinders
ResearchGuide is an open-source software application that helps librarians make subject guides and information pages using Web forms. It is open source.
ResearchGuide is a web environment allowing creation and delivery of online subject research guides for academic libraries. Benefits include standard look and feel of guides and centralized management of content. ResearchGuide also creates information pages about librarians who maintain the guides.
OCLC has a pathfinder creation tool as part of CORC/Connextion but those of us who are not members could use another tool. Seen on library news daily.
