Guided search tools are used to help library users to find the resources they are seeking. Originally paper-based subject guides were the job of subject specialist librarians, but now, the technologies can assist this process. 'Lib Data' and 'SubjectsPlus' are two examples of open-source applications based on PHP and MySQL and need someone with expertise in these to configure and maintain them.

SubjectsPlus enables libraries to create and manage online research guides. Earlier it was developed by Ithaca College Library, USA but presently it is maintained by the University of Miami Libraries. These guides can be in many forms with the software, sufficiently flexible to allow many different ways of presenting the guides and enabling users to access them; users may want to navigate by subject, by course, by database, or by the type of information they required.

Here I have shared the procedure for installing Subjects Plus and its user manual
