Introduction to the Project:
LibGuides are a prevalent tool in libraries, and yet often their use as a tool is taken at face value. Used as pointers towards knowledge, LibGuides should be a crucial part of creating anti-racist library institutions. In understanding such tools and how to implement such criticality, the LibGuide Open Review Discussion Sessions provides a space across California State University Systems for practitioners to come together to discuss reference, publishing, critical digital pedagogy, critical race theory, and our work in libraries, working towards holding criticality to fight against the farce of neutrality within knowledge organizations.

Meeting Notes:
9/8: A Start
Future visions! Systems in place for an open peer review, bringing together members across multiple CSUs, with a continuous dialogue. Also holds accessibility, critical technology studies, critical race theory - a low cost, low barrier forum for everyone. This project maintains critical thinking and analysis.
Working group schedules meeting on every other Monday, 9am-10:30PM.
Goal to have one open review session by the end of the calendar year.
Decisions to be made: what outreach looks like, how many LibGuides, how to solicit LibGuides, length of time of sessions, how to provide context to facilitating the conversation - important to be transparent about the ways that people think, and how we credit/assess people and their input. Student input to be included at some point as well.
