Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><br>
The Centre for Academic Practice & Learning Enhancement
(CAPLE) and Centre for Educational Technology and Interoperability
Standards (CETIS) at the University of Strathclyde are conducting
a study about the involvement of the <b>Library as an
organizational unit, and of individual librarians and other
information science specialists, in OER initiatives</b>. <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><br>
This survey (<a href="http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/669964/OER-Libraries-and-librarians" target="_blank">http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/669964/OER-Libraries-and-librarians</a>)
is open to any institution or initiative dealing with <b>OER
and/or open content for learning and teaching in a Higher
Education context</b>. This includes the creation and release of
OER, its dissemination and promotion, the implementation of
learning repositories or others management and publishing systems,
the aggregation of open educational content, etc. Those projects
focused solely on open educational practice are out the intended
scope of this survey.<br>
<br>
The survey should be answered by an individual <b>OER initiative
team member</b> with an overview of current activity and the
team composition and profiles. The survey instrument has 15
questions and the estimated time for completion is 15-20 minutes.
<br>

some basic information about your type of organization and OER
initiative purpose and objectives if you wish. Participating
organisations will be listed in the study report but responses are
