I'm thrilled that our library is adopting LibGuides. For years I've envied the web architecture savvy of a business librarian colleague of mine. He's managed to create piles of customized pages for his course integrated library instruction, then link those pages logically with general research guides such as "Marketing."
LibGuides promise the easy creation of modular, user friendly research guides. Easy even for the non-architecturally inclined (moi!). I'm drooling to expand my pages beyond guides to consumer health, finding tests and measures, EndNote, etc. It'll be exciting to port over the content from the health care version of finding bills, laws, and court cases (content first requested by nursing faculty but later adopted then requisitioned again by several nutrition instructors - not bad for a non-law/poli sci libn like me!).
And to make the summer project even bigger - expanding into guides to evidence based practice, health care videos, handheld/pda products, anatomy sources, and more. MLA sections for collection development and for nursing, plus ICIRN, should really help. I've never belonged to a listserv as active as the NAHRS one!!
