The collection includes required course readings plus additional relevant materials, prioritizing Creative Commons licensed content while acknowledging the current scarcity of university-level OER.

The Toolkit for Developing Human Resource Policies and Supportive Institutional Environments in Higher Education is aimed at providing a practical guide for universities to evaluate, enhance, or establish effective HR policies and practices. It provides a straightforward approach to identifying policy gaps, aligning with best practices, and creating an environment that prioritises fairness, staff wellbeing, and career growth. While based on widely recognised HR management principles, the toolkit can be tailored to fit various institutional types and national contexts.

This is a suite of resources that a CPD coordinator can use to start librarians on their way to advocating/pushing for a data management policy including how to build a coalition of allies and stakeholders as well as tips on promoting the policy.
