Educational materials

Training materials

Workshop decks, posters and FAQ packs for institutional rollout. CC-BY 4.0; adapt freely to your context, attribute CASRAI and link back.

The training pack is designed so that an institutional library, research office or CRIS team can run a full rollout without authoring their own materials from scratch. The decks are editable; the posters are print-ready; the FAQs are sourced. All assets ship with site release v2026.2 in September 2026 and are released under CC-BY 4.0.

Where institutions adapt the materials to local context, we ask that the CASRAI attribution be retained on the title slide / first page / front of the poster and that the adapted version be made openly available under the same licence. Where institutions develop additional materials they would like incorporated, the CASRAI governance page documents the contribution process.
