Opportunities and Obstacles for Citizen Science : Insights from Finnish Public Libraries

The primary aim of this study was to gain understanding on public library perspectives on citizen science in Finland, through examining the conditions of public libraries in three key areas: physical space, digital space, and knowledge resources and infrastructure. Additionally, the study sought to explore how libraries conceptualise an environment supportive for citizen science. In April 2024, an online survey was conducted with 55 public library representatives from Finland, gathering data on their views about public libraries’ capability to support citizen science. The survey included a series of questions focusing on the three aforementioned areas. The responses were analysed using thematic analysis. Eleven key concepts supporting citizen science in public libraries were identified: inclusivity and accessibility to diverse communities, meeting and event spaces, study and work areas, role of libraries as connectors, collaboration with educational institutions, national cooperation, community engagement and events, customer service, local collections and research, technology and digital resources, and library staff. Librarians perceived libraries as facilitators rather than leaders of citizen science projects, emphasising the importance of collaboration and accessibility of resources. The results show the potential of Finnish public libraries to facilitate citizen science, simultaneously revealing challenges related to infrastructure, resources, and role delineation. Findings confirm the potential of Finnish public libraries to support citizen science initiatives while highlighting areas for improvement. These insights may be useful in designing effective strategies for integrating citizen science into library services, thus responding to an important research, programmatic, and policy gap. 

Taktile teorier

Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan brugen af modelbygning og prototyper kan understøtte forståelsen af teori blandt studerende på en videregående uddannelse. Med udgangspunkt i forskning af Buur et al. (2022) i Design Anthropological Theory Instruments undersøges det, hvordan begrebet teoriinstrumenter kan være anvendeligt i et undervisningsmiljø blandt socialrådgiverstuderende. Igennem ”research through design” (Zimmerman et al. 2010) undersøges det, hvordan arbejdet med håndgribelige materialer påvirker elevernes forståelse af teori

Developing an Open Educational Resource on Creative Commons licences in scholarly publishing: A case study from Umeå University Library

This paper describes a project undertaken at Umeå University Library to develop an open online course aimed at helping researchers navigate the publishing landscape. The course focuses on key considerations when publishing and sharing research under a Creative Commons licence. The project aimed to create a resource that could complement existing email support and outreach activities at the library and serve dual functions as a streamlined resource for busy researchers seeking an introduction to the topic and as a reference for researchers with specific questions. It was designed to be intuitive and use interactive elements like videos and scenarios, while text sections were kept short and in plain language. The course was developed using a methodological step-by-step framework based on Constructive Alignment. The framework was created at Umeå University Library and designed specifically for librarians with limited pedagogical training. Key challenges in the project included creating interactive and engaging content, avoiding lengthy text sections, and ensuring the course fulfilled its dual purposes. Based on our experiences from the project, we recommend that similar projects use a pedagogical framework to guide content development and course design, involve pilot users in testing the course, and carefully consider how open for reuse they want the resource to be, both in legal and technical terms
