    Jane and Chris go on tour in this episode of Copyright Waffle, speaking to Tania Todorova, Professor of Library Sciences at the University of Library Sciences and Information Technologies in Sofia Bulgaria. In 2013 Tania created the copyright literacy survey to research how much librarians and those working in cultural heritage understand about copyright. The survey has subsequently been run in over 14 countries around the world and we maintain a list of publications on the International Copyright Literacy Survey webpage. We ran the survey in the UK in 2014 and published our findings in 2015 in the journal Library and Information Research. Tania invited Jane and Chris to Sofia in May of 2022 to speak to partners in the DeCRIS project which is an ERASMUS funded project exploring Digital Education in Times of Crisis and the role of OERs. Partners in this project attending the meeting were mainly library science educators from Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Spain. We were attending the second project multiplier event. Jenna Hartel from University of Toronto also presented at the multiplier event – she has made a series of videos for library educators that she's put on her INFIDEOS YouTube channel. She had a sabbatical to create these 45 videos in place of writing a book or a chapter. Tania is also on the organising committee of the BOBCATSSS conference which we presented at in January 2020. This is an annual conference for library students and LIS educators. In this episode Jane and Chris also discuss the Jisc OER programme which ran from 2009-2012.
