Subject: Selection and Use of Open Access Resources - A Survey

 

Dear Mandla Ntombela:

My name is Akilah Shukura Nosakhere, I serve as Director of Library Services at New Mexico State University at Carlsbad. My research partner, Dr. Mustafa Abdelwahid, Director of the University Library at Alfaisal University, and I are writing a paper for presentation this summer and desire to have some recent data to add to our research on the use of open access material in Africa universities.

 

The 10 question electronic survey is managed by SurveyMonkey and takes 20 minutes or less to complete. 

I am including the link to the web-based survey for your review.  If you have time, please complete the survey by clicking on the enclosed link.  The survey is available from the link until Saturday 17 May 2014.  Feel free to share this email with appropriate  LIASA membership.

Selection and Use of Open Access (OA) Resources in Academic Libraries in Africa Survey

This 10 question survey is designed to measure the selection and use of Open Access (OA) resources in academic libraries in various regions of Africa. Of particular importance are the use of collection development principles and evaluative methods used to select OA resources for the academic library.

Any questions you or your colleagues have about the survey please contact me using the email address noted here.  Thank you.
