Libraries as Community Hubs for Citizen Science

SciStarter and the National Library of Medicine in the USA have produced a short training module on turning your library into a community hub for citizen science. The module covers citizen science as a component of library life-long learning, engaging the public, tools and strategies and identifying resources and training.

For a limited time, the Medical Library Association will provide professional development credits upon completion of this module and the accompanying surveys.
