The survey was sponsored by the OCLC global council, and it's meant to gather data from a wide range of international libraries. It's a fairly simple survey instrument, but if it gets enough uptake, it might yield some interesting data about library publishing (among other things). It's open until mid-January.

Hi all,
Just forwarding details about this upcoming talk that may be of interest with Dr. Robin DeRosa on The Future of the Public Mission of Universities<https://www.sfu.ca/dean-gradstudies/events/dreamcolloquium/DreamColloquium-…>, scheduled as the final session in this fall's President's Dream Colloquium on Making Knowledge Public at Simon Fraser University (SFU)<https://www.sfu.ca/dean-gradstudies/events/dreamcolloquium/DreamColloquium-…>.
The Future of Public Mission of Universities
Robin DeRosa, Professor and Director, Interdisciplinary Studies
Thursday, November 22, 5:30 to 7 PM, reception to follow
ASB 10900, Presentation Studio, SFU Burnaby Campus
LIVE STREAM of this event will also be available starting at 5:30pm
More details and the registration link available here<https://www.sfu.ca/dean-gradstudies/events/dreamcolloquium/DreamColloquium-…>.
Robin DeRosa is a professor and an internationally-known advocate for Open Education. Her research and activism focus on increasing public access to knowledge, critically rethinking the profit motive in education, and piloting new architectures for programs and institutions that empower and center learners in their design. Robin is Director of Interdisciplinary Studies at Plymouth State University, part of the University System of New Hampshire. She is also an editor for Hybrid Pedagogy, an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that combines the strands of critical pedagogy and digital pedagogy to arrive at the best social and civil uses for technology and new media in education, and she has taught courses for the Digital Humanities Summer Institute and Digital Pedagogy Lab. A leader in the movement to develop a social justice orientation for pedagogies and practices related to Open Educational Resources (OER) and Connected Learning, Robin’s work interrogates and inspires, and offers possibilities for a commons-oriented approach to educational innovation.
Hope to see some of you there!
Cheers, Hope

Reviews
* Starting March 18, 2018, the licence for published reviews changed from CC BY-ND to CC BY. (Older reviews still retain the CC BY-ND designation.) This was done to more easily share reviews with other collections.

When open textbooks are replaced with new editions, PDFs of the reviews for the older edition are now compiled in a zip file and posted by the new version of the textbook. A README file is included in the zipped file explaining this arrangement and the reason for it.
