CAUL
The Council of Australasian University Librarians (CAUL) is the peak body uniting university libraries to lead access, influence and innovation in the sector. Together we work to harness the collective influence and expertise of university libraries and librarians across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand to drive equitable access to knowledge, reshape scholarly communication, and elevate the visibility, value and impact of academic libraries in research, teaching and learning. We aspire to achieve a transformed, equitable scholarly system that enables open knowledge and serves the public good.
Through championing a fairer approach to how research and knowledge are preserved, created, shared, accessed, and used, we remove barriers to participation and ensure diverse voices and knowledge systems, including Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander and Māori ways of knowing, are respected and represented. By reshaping how scholarly communication works, we aim to extend the benefits of knowledge more widely, reaching students, researchers, institutions, and the communities they serve, and strengthening the role of universities in advancing equity, innovation, and public benefit across the region.
Our 2026-28 Strategic Plan focuses on three pillars:
- Transform knowledge ecosystems for equity and access. Using CAUL’s collective power to reshape scholarly publishing so it’s fairer, more inclusive and better aligned with sector priorities and public good.
- Enhance the university library sector’s voice and value
Strengthening CAUL’s influence by showing the impact of academic libraries in research, education and public life. - Commit to Indigenous partnership. Commitment to building respectful partnerships with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander and Māori communities, guided by their priorities. Working closely with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander and Māori leaders to prioritise what is most impactful for Indigenous communities, as determined by those communities themselves.
