Open Innovation has been a practice used in different contexts, whether organizational or not. It uses collaborative resources from inside and outside an organization to improve services and products. It is an option for contexts where financial resources are scarce. This research has as objective to identify Open Innovation practices adopted by libraries, through the analysis of the Brazilian scientific production indexed in the Brapci (Base de Dados Referenciais de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação), using the search terms "Open Innovation" and "crowdsourcing". We also chose to search for the term crowdsourcing because it is the most recurrent Open Innovation tool in articles in Brazil. Theoretical aspects of Open Innovation and distinctions in relation to Closed Innovation are raised. In addition, the most frequent types of Open Innovation practices in Brazilian scientific literature, such as the crowdsourcing tool, are identified. As the main results it is evidenced that research on Open Innovation is still scarce in the context of libraries, and that, although there are investigations in different scenarios, the most present is the business one.
