Hi all,
Doe anyone know of any statistics on Fair Dealing? David Porter was wondering the following:
"Anybody have any stats on fair dealing? That is, how many faculty or instructors make use of the provisions. Library data? Doesn’t some university have an app that automatically captures that kind of data from faculty members submissions and requests for evaluation of fair dealing amounts permissible in Canada?"
If you know of any data, please let me know.
Cheers,
Rosario Passos

> The final version of the Florida’s 2016 Student Textbook and Course Material Survey (PDF) <https://dlss.flvc.org/documents/210036/361552/2016+Student+Textbook+Survey.…> is now available. This survey is the third in a series of surveys from 2010 through 2016 that shed light on the impact high textbook costs are having on college affordability, student actions to address cost, as well as college success and completion. In 2016 alone, more than 22,000 students from all of Florida’s public colleges and universities voluntarily participated in the anonymous online survey.
> You may also find the recently completed 2016 Action Plan for Building a Statewide Infrastructure to Support Open Educational Resources in Florida's Public Institutions of Higher Education (PDF) <https://dlss.flvc.org/documents/210036/361552/FinalOATERReport9_21_16.pdf/1…> of interest. The report identified recommendations for how the state could work toward building partnerships and a statewide infrastructure to support the use of OER. There are three parts to the report:
> 1) Review of national and international OER projects and organizations, with recommendations drawn from these sources
> 2) Recommendations for FLVC on establishing a statewide OER support infrastructure.
> 3) Results of the statewide survey of librarians, instructional design staff, and teaching faculty, and made suggests additional steps for moving forward based upon those results.

Hi there everyone,
If you have created any OER, you may be interested in participating in the Creative Commons call for submissions (information follows):
>From Creative Commons:
Since 2014, CC has published an annual State of the Commons report that tracks the growth of CC-licensed content on the web. Last year, we reported a milestone of 1 billion CC-licensed works in the commons . This year, we are shifting our reporting focus to align with our new strategy .
We are opening a public call for submissions of commons content, its creators, and the creative uses that have resulted.
The submission form is below and asks for the relevant details we need to start visualizing an impactful statistic tied to real use. Strong submissions include all three features of the Creative Commons story: 1) the creator/entity and the choice to openly license, 2) the user and the act of adapting and remixing, and 3) the resulting positive impact for a broader public.

Hope you are all doing well.
Just a note of hi and to invite you all to come to the ETUG and our "Little (work) shop of Horrors: Tales of Fails and Edteck Experiments" hosted at the Centre for Digital Media.

Hello CCCOER Advisory,
Well, we're finally doing it! I'm being asked to provide some samples of OER Librarian / Coordinator / Manager / <insert title here> job descriptions and/or justifications for a dedicated position.
If anyone has a job description or any sort of useful documentation that was successful at your institution to share, I'd greatly appreciate it. I can compile responses and post back, if this would be helpful to others.
Thank you!
