This type of dynamic peer review is an excellent example of a new information product giving participants a way to "articulate the traditional and emerging processes of information creation and dissemination in a particular discipline" (ACRL, 2016, p. 14). By collaborating with faculty across disciplines, academic librarians can incorporate these Innovative approaches to peer review as a creative method to implement the frame "Information Creation as a Process."
