Dear colleagues,

I am currently writing a book addressing the emerging role of the Information Professional. One of the chapters addresses the various facets of openness, including OER.  My argument is around the governmental expenditure in OER projects and its significance in governmental agendas. I wish I had more data for other countries, but so far the European Open Data is fragmented. I have an approximate figure for the UK and aware of the the US for the $2 billion governmental funds granted for OER. ( http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/26100)  

I would appreciate it greatly if you could direct me to any sources with data for other continents you may be aware of and any US grants before 2011.

More details about my forthcoming book can be found at http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=3342&ChandosTitle=1

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance.

Eleni
