BLOOM
Common ground for academic librarians and knowledge workers to share, adapt and cultivate our craft together, and a space to question, test and teach new tools, because none of us can keep up alone.

How BLOOM works
A curated, openly licensed home for the teaching academic librarians already do — find it, adapt it, and share yours back.
Find & browse
Search openly licensed lessons, objects, and tools. No account needed to read or borrow anything here.
Use & adapt
It’s openly licensed (mostly CC BY), so you can teach with it, remix it, and make it yours — with credit carried along.
Share yours back
Contribute your own work and get the credit. Editors curate every record, and optional peer review earns a badge and a letter for your dossier.

Openly licensed resources
Five categories of openly licensed resources, free to use and adapt.

Communities of Practice
