A Letter From The President Elect

JANUARY 11
Dear Colleagues,

As an IFLA/OCLC Fellow, I’d like to invite you to participate in the Access to Open Content Survey.

OCLC’s Global Council of library leaders is conducting an international survey on library use and support of open content/open access 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. We wish 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 take a few minutes to complete the survey and share it with your colleagues.   

>> Please participate:  Access to Open Content Survey 

This survey should be completed by library staff who oversee the acquisitions and management of open content resources.

The survey will be open until 31 January.   Your participation is an important contribution to this topic.  For more about this and other open access initiatives at OCLC, check out oc.lc/oa and our recent blog, An “open” discussion.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

Sincerely,

Jerry Mathema
President Elect, ZimLA
IFLA/OCLC Fellow 2017
Kind regards
