It's fabulous that resources like this exist and the organisations will share them. In a age of tight work time frames and even tighter budgets, it's helpful to not have to reinvent the wheel when your organisation has to take this step. It also means that more libraries are able to make policies and guidelines because they don't have to start from scratch. This has benefits for everyone - management - staff and clients.
