Library Guide Assessment Standards for Quality-Checked Review

• Check pages of active guides to make sure that ALL links and embedded content still function. This includes: RSS/Twitter Feeds, streaming media, widgets, and links that are in Rich Text Boxes (these are not automatically checked via the the Link Checker tool).
• For course guides: contact the faculty member to see if your LibGuide still supports their course assignments and curriculum; ask for suggested updates; this is a good chance to request an updated syllabus.
• Check course schedule: if a course isn't currently being offered, consider changing the course guide to private or unpublished.
• Update screenshots and images: has a database interface changed? Is the logo current? Are you using images that comply with copyright?
• Tutorials: if you have made a tutorial, or are using a vendor tutorial, make sure they are still accurate.
• Check and update any instructions: are the steps and screenshots still current?
• Review usage statistics: how many visits (hits) did your guide(s) get over the prior semester? For course guides, consider sharing that information with the instructor!

• Refresh content on all guides.
• Review usage statistics again to decide which guides should be deleted, combined or made private. Can the content in low use guides be reimagined as a box or added to another guide? Export the content to HTML before you delete so you still have access to the content just in case. 
• Look at your list of assets to see if you can combine or delete any.
• Look at your guide on multiple device types (computer, tablet, smartphone) to make sure it functions well and important content is still on top. Please note that the internal edit view and the public view our end users see are not identical. We recommend that you preview your guide during the creation process to ensure there are no formatting issues.
• Consider new programs, initiatives, faculty, courses, etc. Do you need to create any new guides to provide library support?

The UNF librarians created a badge for library guides properly maintained and meeting the review process standards. This badge was created in Canva:
