| SURVEY | Help grow our understanding of Open Education practices in academic libraries Nov 18, 2019
Dear SPARC Europe member,
As a member of the European academic library community, your participation is needed in an important survey. SPARC Europe is seeking to gain insights into Open Education (OE) practices within academic libraries in Europe. Your input is necessary if we are togain an accurate picture of OE in libraries of Higher Education.
The ultimate goal is to use what we learn to strengthen OE and Open Education Resources (OER) in higher education institutions and their libraries across Europe.
Academic libraries are natural partners in this endeavour, considering the prominent role you have played in advancing Open, developing Open Access, Scholarship, and Open Science policies and practices.
Our hope? To see this same level of commitment to Open Education in the years to come.
We believe an important first step in this direction is to gain a firm understanding of the current landscape of Open Education in libraries, which this survey should provide. We look forward to sharing survey results in the first quarter of 2020.
If you have any questions, please let us know at oer@sparceurope.org. Otherwise, we kindly ask you to take the survey.
Note that the deadline for completing it is Friday, 20 Dec 2019.
