    Establishing Citizen Science Culture in Academic Libraries – Lessons Learned from LIBOCS Project
    (Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2024) Lembinen, Liisi
    ENG: Academic libraries in Baltic states have been promoting Open Science for more than a decade, yet citizen science knowledge and skills have been lacking. With the help of the LIBOCS project, Baltic academic libraries enhanced the capacity of university libraries to support citizen science and open science initiatives, with a particular emphasis on the Baltic region. Through acquiring new skills and knowledge, project libraries strengthened the relationship between academia and society by encouraging higher education institutions to incorporate citizen science into their research and educational strategies. Tools and resources were created to support citizen scientific initiatives. These incorporated best practices and guidelines for educational institutions and libraries. This presentation will show the lessons learned from project activities and gives insight into future developments.
