*Is access to open content important to your library? A call for
participation in the OCLC survey on open content*

*Apologies for cross-posting*

 As part of OCLC’s efforts to leverage the library communities’ investment
in the creation, curation and preservation of open content, OCLC Global
Council, working with OCLC Research, is conducting an international survey
aimed at understanding the extent of this critical investment of time,
budget and other resources. The goal of the survey is to engage a global
audience of librarians in a joint exercise to map and align open content
activities and cultivate a shared understanding of how libraries are
invested in and working together to leverage open content from around the
globe.

All types of libraries are encouraged to complete the survey, in order to
gather as many different perspectives as possible, bringing more voices to
the table and sharing a baseline understanding of libraries’ commitment to
exploit the potential of open content. Open content is relevant to all
libraries.

Please read more about the purpose of this survey in the introductory blog: *A
call for participation in the OCLC survey on access to open content

The survey will be open until *January 31*, 2019 and we are seeking strong
global participation. Results will be shared back with the community, with
allied organizations, and help us frame future programming, research
efforts, and service design. Please take a moment and devote your attention
to this important research investigation.
