EDIBA Learning Journey

An EDIBA learning journey for Harvard Library employees is a pathway to gain knowledge, skills and competencies that will elevate their ability, at the individual and managerial levels, to incorporate values-driven practices as they facilitate the, academic and research needs of students, faculty and other stakeholder communities.

As a part of each individual work plan and in alignment with the Library's Values, staff members are expected to attend EDIBA trainings for their personal professional development.

Here you'll find courses, trainings, and opportunities broken out by track for all employees. Employees should create a development plan with their manager and in consultation with HR that best aligns with their roles and responsibilities.
