  • Assess library guides based on the Library Guide Assessment Standards for Quality-Checked Review
  • Use or remix these standards for your own institution 
  • Recognize the importance for following quality-checked review standards
  • Identify ways to contact your UNF library support staff and librarians

According to Springshare (n. d.), library guides are widely used by academic, school, and public libraries (130,000 librarians worldwide). Additionally, library guides integrate into a variety of LMS Systems including Canvas (Daniel, 2016). Per Lauseng et al. (2021), students, faculty, and librarians outside the guide's institution discover library guides in a variety of ways including Google searching. Noting these three points (1) popularity of the product (2) integration into an LMS (3) and worldwide viewership, library guides benefit by undergoing a rigorous peer review process to ensure high quality content and delivery.
