    Citizen Science and Libraries
    (Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2022) Tiberius, Ignat
    ENG: Citizen Science is the active participation of the public in research activities, with their intellectual capacity, their time or other kind of resources. There are many definitions of citizen science, but they are all referring to the collaboration between professional scientists and the rest of society. This is a two-way activity, which empowers citizens to play a role in research activity and, as a result, produce improvements and make discoveries which will be of benefit to society as a whole. Citizen science effectively relocates scientific activities into a wider community and offers grounds for more interaction between science and society. Research libraries and public libraries are already well placed to support citizen science. This presentation is tackling the practical aspects of citizen science. This presentation is a collective, international act that involves many professionals that support Citizen Science, from Europe and USA.
