Research guides, delivered in context
WyderNet enables libraries to align research guides with coursework and research activity, reinforcing instruction and information literacy throughout the learning process.
Why WyderNet?
Librarian-created research guides have long been a trusted way to connect users with resources. WyderNet builds on that foundation by helping libraries extend their guidance into the flow of research and coursework. By combining librarian expertise with responsible automation, guides become easier to deliver, easier to discover, and more effective in supporting students at the moment of need.
Matching resources to academic needs
WyderNet helps librarians transform academic context into curated research guides. Librarians review, refine, and curate recommendations to deliver the right resources accurately and at scale, when they’re needed most.
Student assignments
Start from a prompt, assignment, or project description to create a personalized research guide matched to the library’s trusted resources. Share it directly with the student.
Faculty support
Use syllabi or course materials to create course-specific research guides that can be published in the library CMS or embedded in the LMS.
Research projects
Begin with a research proposal or topic and quickly identify relevant databases, journals, articles, and other resources the library already manages.
Integrated With Your Library
WyderNet dynamically pulls resources from your library’s subscribed databases, discovery service, catalog, institutional repositories, and special collections. Instead of manually curating static guides, librarians deliver continuously updated, course- and research-specific guides powered by real-time library data.
