Academic librarians are seeing more interest in open access (OA) content and open educational resources (OER) during the COVID-19 pandemic, survey respondents reported, due in part to a lack of access to physical materials and a desire to keep textbook costs low. Those are some of the findings from the Library Journal Open Access Content/Open Educational Resources in Academic Libraries Survey, released this month. The report includes data about availability and usage of OA and OER content in U.S. academic libraries, as well as how OA content is curated. The survey, conducted in October, includes data from 234 institutions and was sponsored by SirsiDynix.
