If you have any FREE resources on the following topics, please add to this list! Emphasis is on models that are already being put into practice, and tools people can use to design their own systems. Book lists are great too!
PLEASE NOTE: The most updated version of this toolbox is available on our blog at bloominginspace.wordpress.com/free-reso.... (It was becoming too labor-intensive to keep both pages updated, because the pages use different codes.) The purpose of this space is so that anyone who is not a writer on the blog can contribute by adding resources to the list. Anything added here will then be added to the blog; you can also contribute by simply commenting on the blog. We are open to more writers there so let us know if you are interested!
