Short Abstract

At the library of the University of Barcelona we have implmented a development plan for librarians to acquire the needed skills to provide support to researchers to follow open science practices

Abstract

For many years the University of Barcelona has commited to Open Science developing policies, fostering practices, and providing support to researchers. The support has mainly been provided by the library. However the library has identified some challenges in providing such support especially in some aspects like citizen science. One of these challenges is to acquire the needed skills to provide support in some areas like the citizen science. For that reason the management team of the library has created a training plan to allow librarians to follow a professional career as research supporter. We would like to share this initiative and to learn about other collaborations among libraries and citizen science practitioners
