Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander resources 

Use these resources to incorporate Indigenous knowledges and perspectives in line with UQ work to Indigenise the curriculum. 

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives guide can help you ensure your teaching curriculum and reading lists represent the diverse student voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander referencing guide can help ensure Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander authors are referenced respectfully. 

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander resources includes curated collections on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, authors, activism and resistance, yarns and spoken memories, languages, images, non-Indigenous representations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and peoples and the Torres Strait Islands in the Library. 

Open educational resources

Open Educational Resources (OERs) provide access to free, online material which may be free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. Visit the Library’s Open Education Resources guide to help you find potential OERs to use in your course.  

Open textbooks provide an alternative to commercial textbooks and offer many benefits to you, your students, and the community. Find out how you can author, adapt or adopt open textbooks at Open Textbooks @ UQ.
