1.2: The Remixing of the SUNY OSCQR Rubric

OSCQR is a vetted tool. Therefore, I aimed to maintain its original list of standards as much as possible. I named the re-mixed variation the Library Guide Assessment Standards (LGAS) rubric. If you compare the LGAS rubric to the SUNY-OSCQR rubric, you will note that I changed the verbiage “course module” to “library guide” throughout the list of standards. I deleted specific standards irrelevant to library guides and added new standards based on the strengths and weaknesses of library guides as discussed in the peer-reviewed literature.

You can read more about these strategic changes in a study that was published in June 5, 2024 with In The Library with the Lead Pipe, an open-access online peer-reviewed journal (See sections: “Strengths & Weaknesses of the Library Guide” and “The Library Guide Assessment Standards (LGAS) Rubric”):

Moukhliss, S. & McCowan, T. (5 June 2024). Using a proposed library guide assessment standards rubric and a peer review process to pedagogically improve library guides: A case study. In the Library with the Lead pipe. https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadp...ent-standards/

SUNY-OSCQR is clear that it is not to be used as an evaluative tool. Thus, I drafted 32 annotations for the 32 LGAS standards to provide concrete explanations for marking a standard as “Met“ or “Not Met“ with the intention of removing ambiguity during the peer review process.
