Open but Not for All: A Survey of Open Educational Resource Librarians on Accessibility
Schultz, Teresa Auch; Azadbakht, Elena
College & Research Libraries, v82 n5 p755-769 Jul 2021
This project sought to study how much academic librarians who work with open educational resources (OERs) know about accessibility, as well as how they incorporate accessibility into the products of their work. A survey was sent out through email list services in spring 2020, and any librarian worldwide who works with OERs was invited to participate; 193 responded in full. Just under half of librarians said they always consider accessibility when working with faculty to create or adapt OERs, but fewer than a third said they consider accessibility a factor when adding OERs to their collections.
