Open Science Community Google Group
All are welcome to join the Open Science Community Google Group. This is a space for informal discussion among librarians and other information professionals who support Open Science at their institutions, as well as those interested in approaches to support Open Science initiatives. This space is intended to allow individuals to share opportunities for collaboration, collectively brainstorm or troubleshoot, discuss ideas, share projects, celebrate successes, and support one another through struggles related to supporting Open Science.
The Open Science Primer is funded by Institute of Museum and Library Services Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grant (IMLS Grant No. RE-254818-OLS-23, PI: Emily Bongiovanni)
