Build better LibGuides: A dataset of Political Science, Public Affairs, and International Studies LibGuides

The dataset that accompanies the "Build Better LibGuides" chapter of Teaching Information Literacy in Political Science, Public Affairs, and International Studies. This dataset was created to compare current practices in Political Science, Public Affairs, and International Studies (PSPAIS) LibGuides with recommended best practices using a sample that represents a variety of academic institutions. Members of the ACRL Politics, Policy, and International Relations Section (PPIRS) were identified as the librarians most likely to be actively engaged with these specific subjects, so the dataset was scoped by identifying the institutions associated with the most active PPIRS members and then locating the LibGuides in these and related disciplines. The resulting dataset includes 101 guides at 46 institutions, for a total of 887 LibGuide tabs.
