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.
To get started, please feel free to browse through the LORDS Toolkit: https://tinyurl.com/LORDSToolKit
To do so, each LORDS session uses a rubric as a suggested framework for the discussion. For reference: a local sample used rubric, the draft LibGuide, and the result after the session, from one of Cal Poly SLO’s pilot sessions. For a more detailed discussion, resources, and further ideas about the project, please watch this Association of Southeastern Research Libraries webinar:
