“…A survey of open education in European libraries of higher education prepared by SPARC 22 surveyed 146 libraries from 28 European countries, 16 of which were from the UK, including the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield. The survey report found that, 'libraries provide a supportive role much more consistently than they do a leading role in areas addressed by this survey.'…”

Interest in open educational resources (OER) has grown recently due to many external factors, including the restrictive, unsustainable and expensive business models for teaching materials that are being used by some publishers. In February 2021, the libraries of the UK White Rose University Consortium (White Rose Libraries) initiated a research project to explore the potential of OER and to create guidance in the form of an OER toolkit that could be used across all three institutions, and more widely. The project also aimed to seek improvements in the discovery of OER in the Ex Libris Primo discovery service which is used by all three libraries. This article outlines the methodology used to ascertain the needs of the libraries' user groups to inform the development of the toolkit. A survey of academic staff across all three institutions was conducted, followed by user experience interviews. The survey findings established that more than half of respondents knew little or nothing about OER, and over half also said that they would be likely or extremely likely to consider using or adapting OER, clearly demonstrating the need for more awareness raising and guidance. The survey interview findings were then used to develop and refine the toolkit.

“…la conexión de los repositorios europeos de REA, la integración de estrategias institucionales de REA y la promoción de modelos comerciales exitosos de REA. • SPARC Europe también impulsa la Recomendación de REA de la UNESCO, elaborando una serie de informes anuales en base a una encuesta sobre Educación abierta entre las bibliotecas académicas europeas de educación superior (Proudman et al, 2020;Santos-Hermosa et al, 2021) La situación actual puede resumirse como de work in progress, es decir, un momento en el que se están uniendo esfuerzos y elaborando acciones para avanzar en las cinco líneas de acción dibujadas por las Recomendación sobre REA de la Unesco. El futuro de los REA parece depender de ello.…”

La pandemia de la COVID-19 ha irrumpido de manera imprevista e implacable en la mayoría de sectores, y la educación no ha sido ninguna excepción. En la universidad hemos pasado de la presencialidad a la virtualidad de manera improvisada, con pocos medios y escasas indicaciones. En este contexto, los contenidos educativos y, en especial, los denominados recursos educativos abiertos (REA) –en inglés, open educational resources– van a ser una pieza fundamental para afrontar los retos de la Educación Superior, así como en el resto de niveles.
