Citizen Science Guide for Libraries is Now Available
#CitSciDay2019
Planning for Citizen Science Day has never been easier. The Librarian’s Guide to Citizen Science by SciStarter and The School for the Future of Innovation in Society at Arizona State University (ASU) is a newly published resource specifically for libraries interested in engaging their communities in citizen science. Citizen Science Day is Saturday April 13 this year, so head on over the SciStarters Citizen Science Day webpage to find some great activities and resources as well as access to The Librarian Guide. Also, there are some impressive print-ready event materials that make it even easier to inform and remind patrons about your Citizen Science Day events and activities.
The Librarian Guide not only helps with Citizen Science Day, it goes beyond and into new ways to connect people to science throughout the year. Citizen Science activities can also be found on the Cornerstones of Science website and scrolling down to the Find a Project! section on the homepage.
We are excited to note that Cornerstones’ own Executive Director, Cynthia Randall, received a special mention on page 2 of the Guide:
SPECIAL THANKS TO: Cynthia Randall, Executive Director of Cornerstones of Science, for providing the foundation for this Guide and for her professional guidance in supporting public libraries as vibrant community hubs for citizen science.
Cynthia has been a champion for science in libraries as Cornerstones’ ED for 7 years now and her work is visionary and inspiring. This special thanks does not come as a surprise to those who work with her closely, but we are grateful to SciStarter and ASU for honoring her in this way.
