5. Case Study: University of South Florida • The USF Libraries utilizes a massive table to map LibGuides into course shells in Canvas • There are three possibilities for each course: • If available, a course-specific LibGuide takes precedence (75 total) • The table then checks for a Subject Guide (65 total) • If neither of the above are available, the course maps to a General & Multidisciplinary page with a number of our best resources ALA MERS Discussion Group
