**New survey on open content licences**
==Use of open content licences by cultural heritage organisations==
The Eduserv Foundation is funding a study into the use of Creative Archive,
Creative Commons and similar open content licences by cultural heritage
organisations in the United Kingdom. The study is being led by legal
consultant Jordan Hatcher of opencontentlawyer.com. The survey is available
here:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=L3x_2b1lQJxqu7KdfK587AeA_3d_3d
This survey is open to UK-based cultural heritage organisations such as
museums, libraries, galleries, archives, film and video organisations,
broadcasters, and other organisations that conduct cultural heritage
activities.
The goal of this study is to provide information on the actual use of
Creative Archive, Creative Commons, and similar licences. This information
will be useful to decision makers and interested professionals in the
cultural heritage sector, and for local and national government and the HE
and FE sector. The study will be conducted from now through to the middle
of September and a report will be made available in October.
If you are a member of a cultural heritage organisation, whether or not you
currently use Creative Commons or Creative Archive licences (or even know
what they are!), your participation is needed to make this study a success.
Again, the survey is available at:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=L3x_2b1lQJxqu7KdfK587AeA_3d_3d
==iPod Shuffle giveaway==
As a bonus for completing the survey, respondents will get the chance to
enter a drawer to win one of three iPod Shuffles that come pre- loaded with
music! See the survey for full details.
==Blog and email -- Please help spread the word==
