Abstract
Library guides are essential instructional tools, yet their design often lacks standardized quality assurance processes. This article introduces the Library Guide Assessment Standards (LGAS) rubric, a peer review tool developed to address this gap by applying instructional design principles and best practices. Adapted from the SUNY OSCQR rubric under an open license, LGAS incorporates 32 standards with detailed annotations to guide evidence-based evaluation of library guides. The article traces the rubric’s development, its integration into librarian training through a workbook and asynchronous modules, and its dissemination as an Open Educational Resource (OER) for broad adoption. By promoting replicability and collaborative review, LGAS advances pedagogical consistency and enhances the impact of library guides on student learning.
