Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to participate in a research study (10-15 min) about Open Educational Resources (OER) and their impact on library collecting practices. This survey is intended to gather current and future trends from the perspective of those involved in library collections work.
The study is being conducted by Benjamin G. Jahre <jahreb_at_lafayette.edu <mailto:jahreb_at_lafayette.edu>>, Head of Electronic Resources, Lafayette College, and Jason B. Reed <reed252_at_purdue.edu <mailto:reed252_at_purdue.edu>>, Assistant Professor of Library Science/Health Sciences Information Specialist, Purdue University and School of Information Studies. Purdue University’s Human Research Protections Program has determined that this project qualifies for exemption from IRB review and as such the risks associated with the study are no greater than those experienced in everyday life.
