The Open GLAM Survey has been designed to support a range of uses and users, such as:
Anyone who wants to find cultural heritage and digital collections to reuse without having to pay image fees
Students of copyright law, the digital humanities, art and cultural heritage, and museum studies who want to identify the range of organisations that participate in open access
Researchers who want to use images or collections data, or undertake new research on the open GLAM movement and its trajectory to inform projects that can respond to the sector’s emerging issues and needs
Practitioners and GLAM organisations looking to design their own open access policy using examples of good practice at sector-specific, international, or national levels, particularly if jurisdictional issues are at play
Policymakers who want to find examples of good practice to reference or support
Funders who want to track open access practice and publications across grant recipients to ensure their funding requirements are met
