New embedding and hyperlinking features of 360 tours have
the potential to significantly impact how users access information
and library services. This article examines current uses,
benefits, and challenges of 360 tours for academic libraries.
Librarians at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s Edith
Garland Dupr e Library are creating tours that serve as a point
of access for library services, information, and instruction.
Based on their own experiences and rooted in practices from
early virtual online library tour development, the authors identify
best practices for 360 tour creation and areas of opportunity
for future development and testing.
