Best Practice in Library Guide Development

The following are the key principles underpinning the development of TAFE NSW Library Guides:

Our guides are curated and support a subject area or library support service
Our guides provide a range of resources that are current and do not limit access for students
Our guides are not overwhelming and provide volume of learning material for courses, they are not meant to be used in place of other course material
Our guides are flexible and agile

Our guides include:

Library Subject Guides - covering broad subject areas (several courses and qualification levels may be covered by the same guide).
Higher Education Guides - course guides developed to provide access to resources, and prescribed and recommended content.
Support Guides - support for our resources and library services.
Internal Support Guides - to support the work on Library Guides.
Promotion and Events Guides - developed by members of the Promotion and Events FIT to support approved state-wide library events.

Contact Guidelines and Standards sub group members:

Kitchen Operations has had a name change to Kitchen Management and Cookery

Bus Truck and Trailer is now called Bus, Truck, Trailer and Recreational Vehicle

Environmental Monitoring and Technology - course not running - archived and no longer appears in the published list

Digital Citizenship and Accessibility for the Web have been deleted due to low use and being out of scope
