Review process

Tasks

  • Consider how Rick's work on current best practices/audit might fit in

    • Determine to what extent the publishing workflow feature meets our needs

  • Determine the mechanism and policy for requesting to create a new guide or "pre-authoring" 
  • Make recommendation for composition of the review team (number of members, duration, etc.)


Notes

LibGuides review process must include

  • A way for a guide author to request and receive approval to create a new guide
    • This is a way to review and determine if a guide is necessary, adequately differs from existing guides, and if the author is the appropriate person to produce that guide
    • Does this apply to course guides or just subject and topic guides?
  •  Accommodation of “last-minute guides” needed to satisfy requests for course-related instruction
  • Timeline for repeat reviews or general guide maintenance 

Deliverables:

  • Recommendations for the process and mechanism for
    • member composition of review team 
    • how are guides submitted for review
    • how authors will be notified of the outcome of the review process 

Revision of Existing Guides and On-going Maintenance Schedule 

  • Audit of existing LibGuides to identify those that fall beyond the established scope and need to be moved to Drupal/FAQs
  • Proposal for how/timeline to revise existing course and subject guides to meet standards
  • Proposal for maintaining guides going forward 
  • How do we maintain guides going forward? Do they need to go through a "recertification" process that ensures they continue to meet standards?
  • No labels
