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.
