## Programs
- [Open Educational Resources Program](https://caul.edu.au/program/open-educational-resources-program/): The program's primary focus is the Open Educational Resources Collective, a service designed to enable open educational resource publishing in university libraries\. This program builds on the work undertaken under the Enabling a Modern Curriculum Program from 2020 to 2022\.
- [From Decolonisation to Indigenisation](https://caul.edu.au/program/from-decolonisation-to-indigenisation/): University libraries recognise the importance Indigenous knowledge plays in the cultural landscape and are striving to counteract the legacy of colonialism\. This program builds on the work undertaken under the Respecting Indigenous Knowledges Program from 2020 to 2022\.
- [Open Access Program](https://caul.edu.au/program/open-access-program/): The Open Access Program continues CAUL's contribution to discourse about transforming scholarly communication practice and infrastructure for scholarly communications\. It complements and extends the open access procurement work undertaken by the CAUL Procurement Service, with a broader focus on policy and practice to enable sustainable approaches to open access\.
- [Advancing Open Scholarship Program](https://caul.edu.au/program/advancing-open-scholarship-program/): The Advancing Open Scholarship program encompassed various initiatives, including advocacy work and projects designed to advance the open agenda through bodies of work with practical outcomes\. The program built on CAUL’s earlier FAIR, Affordable, and Open Access to Knowledge program\. It was succeeded by the Open Access Program \(2023\-2025\)\.
- [Digital Dexterity Program](https://caul.edu.au/program/digital-dexterity-program/): The Digital Dexterity Program focused on equipping library staff and others with a range of capabilities, skills and higher order knowledge essential for success in education, the workforce and life in the digital world\.

## Projects
- [Open Educational Resources Collective Pilot Project](https://caul.edu.au/project/open-educational-resources-collective-pilot-project/): This project established and tested a collaborative enterprise to support publishing open educational resources \(OER\) across CAUL Member institutions\. The OER Collective pilot addressed the need for better infrastructure to support the creation and sharing of OERs in Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand universities\.
- [Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Survey Project](https://caul.edu.au/project/equity-diversity-and-inclusion-survey-project/): The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion \(EDI\) Survey Project was established as a first step in prioritising EDI\. The intention was to fill a gap in the evidence base related to the diversity profile and state of EDI initiatives across the sector in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand so that future activities could be grounded in an empirical understanding of the current state of the sector\. 
- [Open Educational Resources Advocacy Project](https://caul.edu.au/project/open-educational-resources-advocacy-project/): This project developed resources and strategies to support university libraries in advocating for open educational resources \(OER\)\. The work responded to growing interest in OER adoption across Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand universities\. It also addressed a key insight from an earlier survey of CAUL Member institutions that suggested that librarians needed support to move beyond content curation to more strategic OER advocacy\.
- [Enabling a Modern Curriculum with Students as Partners Project](https://caul.edu.au/project/enabling-a-modern-curriculum-with-students-as-partners-project/): This project grew out of the recognition that modern curriculum development needs to move beyond traditional teaching models toward interactive, student\-centred approaches and that university libraries need to adopt similar approaches to support contemporary teaching and learning\. The project explored how university libraries work with students through co\-design processes\. 
- [Libraries and Open Publishing Case Studies Project](https://caul.edu.au/project/libraries-and-open-publishing-case-studies-project/): This project developed a series of case studies of university libraries’ open publishing initiatives and accompanying researcher case studies that demonstrate the value of these initiatives\. The case studies are useful within and beyond the library sector to support advocacy work and provide examples of open publishing practices from which others can learn\.

- [Major Negotiations](https://caul.edu.au/service/content-procurement-service/major-negotiations/): Universities in the Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand \(AAoNZ\) region are navigating a complex and shifting landscape marked by policy uncertainty, immense financial pressure, and escalating calls for demonstrable community and industry impact\. Maintaining public trust in research and improving universities’ social licence depends on transparent, reproducible scholarship and responsible stewardship of public funds\. In this context, a sustainable and affordable approach to open research is vital for the sustainability of our institutions and the preservation of credibility and trust, as well as maximising the value and impact of the research in the region\. 
- [Content Procurement Service](https://caul.edu.au/service/content-procurement-service/): Content procurement for the university library sector is a key focus for CAUL\.

- [Analytics](https://caul.edu.au/topic/analytics/): Meeting Members' needs for robust data to support benchmarking and decision\-making is a key priority for CAUL\. CAUL delivers data and analysis through the Analytics Service and supports capability building in Member institutions through communities of practice\. Analytics involve data collection and analysis from Australasian university libraries including for collection evaluation strategies\.
- [Indigenisation](https://caul.edu.au/topic/indigenisation/): Indigenising university libraries is a key strategic focus for CAUL\. Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand university libraries have a vital role to play in advancing Indigenous perspectives, knowledge systems and ways of knowing\. CAUL is committed to supporting university libraries to create meaningful change through embedding Indigenous knowledge practices, building respectful partnerships with First Nations and Māori communities, and fostering culturally safe spaces\. This ongoing journey of indigenisation represents a fundamental transformation in how university libraries operate, collect, preserve and share knowledge\.
- [Copyright](https://caul.edu.au/topic/copyright/): Copyright laws affect university libraries’ core business and their mission to provide unimpeded access to information\. Fair and affordable access to content depends on Australia having up\-to\-date copyright law\. Copyright guidance, especially for OER, and advocacy for reform are key areas of CAUL's work\.
