New Research Report From Library Futures: OER in Public Libraries
From Library Futures:
Library Futures surveyed public librarians about their use and awareness of OER via the Public Library Association (PLA) mailing list from January – March 2024 and received 107 usable responses. Our flagship survey revealed that public librarians are very interested in OER, but many lack the resources, education, or support to bring interest into action.
Respondents’ interest in OER was extremely high, with 97% of respondents noting some level of interest in learning more about OER. That level of interest suggests a rich area for further education, development, and research.
