    Open Science and Information Literacy as an Incentive for the Democratic Development of Society
    (Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2022) Pušnik, Miro
    ENG: We live in a time of social and technological change. The economic and financial crisis at the beginning of the millennium, the covid-19 epidemic and finally Russia's aggression against Ukraine have shown how vulnerable the global community really is. On the other hand, we are witnessing extraordinary technological progress. In the field of science, we are witnessing an increase in the amount of data and information. In the paper, I aim to present the importance and role of academic libraries in dealing with the challenges brought by the above-mentioned phenomena. Open science, open education, respect for mutual differences, solidarity between differently developed environments must ensure the sustainable development of the community and the development of all its potentials. Academic libraries play a central role as a bridge between individual social groups. In this paper, I will try to outline how libraries can fulfill this mission.
