[Lyrarl] Scalability of Open Access Initiatives Survey

[Sharla Lair]

Hello. A survey about the scalability of open access initiatives in the humanities and social sciences is being conducted as part of the partnership between the University of Michigan and Knowledge Unlatched. Please excuse cross posting as this survey is being distributed in multiple channels. If your organization has not already participated in this survey, please take the time to do so at your earliest convenience.

Surveying the Scalability of Open Access Initiatives in the Humanities and Social Sciences

This survey is for Collections librarians at academic libraries in the U.S. that are currently participating, considering participating, or have thoughtfully declined to participate in one or more library-supported OA monograph initiatives focusing on Humanities and Social Science titles such as Knowledge Unlatched, Luminos, or Open Book Publishers.

Created by the University of Michigan Library in collaboration with Knowledge Unlatched, this survey asks questions about how Collections librarians decide whether or not to participate in such OA initiatives and the extent to which OA monographs are integrated within library discovery systems. The goal is to gather data that will help to identify and overcome the remaining obstacles to the spread of open access scholarly book publishing in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

We are hoping to receive one response per academic library. We therefore ask that you consult with your colleagues in Collections if you are unsure how to answer a given question. The survey is not long and has very few required questions. If you would like to look at the questions in advance, here is a link<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Cjg8hUyb-RSTE2SWNsS2Vzajg/view?usp=sharing> to a pdf version. The survey will close at the end of January 2017.

Please feel free to share this survey widely. Our sincere thanks for your time and assistance!
