A resource is a curated, published container for knowledge, not just a file. It serves as a bundle of one or more files (such as workshops, recordings, or toolkits) that share an overarching theme, description, and point of contact. Publishing a resource provides context, attribution, and intentional sharing—so work can travel responsibly. 

Organizations can choose whether resources are publicly accessible, visible only to selected members, or shared within a specific Group context.

# Resource Library

Public resources are added to The Open Impact Resource Library, a curated, shared collection of practices, tools, and knowledge intended to support the wellbeing of the planet, people, and place.

## Review & Approval

All resources marked for inclusion in the **Public Resource Library** are reviewed by the OFC team before appearing in the shared community view. Review is based on:

* Relevance to the broader community
* Alignment with OFC focus areas
* Clarity, completeness, and appropriate attribution

This review **does not restrict** your ability to:

* Share a resource directly via link
* Use a resource within specific groups or collaborations

It applies only to whether a resource appears in the shared public library.

## Stewardship & Attribution

Resource authors and sponsoring organizations retain responsibility for:

* Setting visibility and access permissions
* Clearly noting usage restrictions, licenses, or attribution requests
* Ensuring shared materials are appropriate for public reuse

If your resource has specific stipulations, please explicitly note them:

* In the resource description
* On any attached files

The Resource Library is not a marketplace or content feed. It is a shared learning commons, stewarded to support responsible reuse and collective capacity-building.
