**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==

We would appreciate it very much if you could help publicise this  
survey by blogging about it or forwarding this email to people who  
you think might be interested.
