BEST PRACTICES: Guides should be continuously monitored for broken links, new content (Ex. a new book was just added to the collection that would fit in this guide), and so on.
Guides are to be reviewed annually at the minimum.
Guides that are being reused (short term guides that are published for a short period of time - such as an assignment or session and then are unpublished) should be reviewed carefully before reactivating. Materials may have changed, links may now be broken, etc.
If you are adding/changing information on the standardized tabs such as 'featured books'; new content does not have to go through a re-approval process.
Significant changes to and/or adding or deleting whole new specialized page(s) need to be discussed with the Review Committee. This is to ensure that you aren't duplicating existing content that may be in process on another guide and ensuring we are remaining within the RRC Guides scope.
BEST PRACTICE: This decision is made by guide owners. However, the Review Committee will prompt reviews on an annual basis. Please see the weeding policy LINK)
Guides that support courses or programs that are no longer offered should likely be removed unless the content is useful to another group.
Guides that have proven to be unused should be considered for removal. This can be determined by the number of views a guide has.
Guides with statistically low views should be reviewed prior to being removed; consider these questions.
There are lots of reasons to keep Private and Unpublished guides in your queue, including 'work in progress' or personal projects. They are not within the scope of the Committee, and there are no strictures around having to weed these guides. However, they do clutter up the queue to easily review what's in progress, etc.
BEST PRACTICES: review private and unpublished guides annually to see if they are still relevant. While they have no public impact, they do clutter up the queues.
