Each guide is presented in a similar manner, eliminating the need to learn how to navigate each guide.

11. Mobile-ready, out of the box Responsive design automatically creates mobile-optimized versions of guides. LibGuide authors don’t have to enable any special features – this happens automatically.
15. Professional results come easily LibGuides 2 adds a professional polish to class and subject guides. LibGuide authors don’t have to worry about designing pages or writing presentation code.
