Please excuse cross-postings.

The University of Arizona Libraries are pleased to announce the open-source release of the Guide on the Side web-based tutorial creation software. The Guide on the Side software is a freely available tool that allows librarians to quickly and easily create online, interactive tutorials that are based on the principles of authentic and active learning. An example can be viewed here: http://www.library.arizona.edu/applications/quickHelp/tutorial/searching-the-ua-library-catalog.

You can find out more about the software and access the download at: http://code.library.arizona.edu/gots/.

You can read more about the project in: "Technology In Practice: The Guide on the Side" in the May/June 2012 issue of American Libraries by Meredith Farkas:  http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/columns/practice/guide-side
