Description
Derived data reflecting organizational practices of 12,781 subject guides on the LibGuides platform from 117 academic institutions. Includes URLs, page titles, descriptions, subject tags, box and tab titles, and profile information collected from subject guides in 2020. Data was used to support a comparative analysis of published "best practices" related to library guides with the actual practices observable across guides.
