"Community guidelines" are a set of values that we all agree to honor as we communicate, learn, and grow together in LIB101. Guidelines are important to follow in online discussions and forums to make sure we are respectful to one another and open to all perspectives. If forum posts do not honor our community guidelines, I reserve the right to remove the offending material.

Below are guidelines that I've used in past classes. Community guidelines are better when they're developed together, by our community! If you have additional ideas you'd like to add to our community guidelines, I invite you to add them into your forum post. We'll have an opportunity to discuss them next week.

LIB101 Community Guidelines

Share your truth and focus on self. Avoid generalizations such as "we," "they," etc. Support opinions with facts and citations.
Intent AND impact. Acknowledge and take responsibility for the impact of your words. Assume others have good intentions and/or inquire about intentions or assumptions.
Agree to disagree. Make it OK to recognize when differences emerge. Honor differences without guilt, shame, or blame.
Participate to the fullest of your ability.
