Sažetak
In the last few years, there has been a growing interest in the organisation of Citizen Science Activity (CSA) in all library types. Considering their role, libraries have proven to be excellent implementers of this type of activity, considering that they have the possibility of bringing together the local and scientific community. CSA relates to the cooperation of not only scientists and citizens but also internal and external partners of libraries. It is also convenient for various types of libraries to cooperate with each other, but few libraries use that potential. This study will present examples of good practices of cooperation between university libraries and public libraries in the implementation of CSA. The study is the result of the LIBERs international Erasmus+ project Citizen-enhanced Open Science in Southeastern Europe Higher Education knowledge hubs, and it is part of the PR2 package led by NSK. For the purposes of this study, NSK conducted several surveys, a questionnaire and guided interviews. The study is divided into two parts. The first part refers to the implementation of the PR2A1 package, which investigated examples of good practice in the implementation of CSA in cooperation with university libraries and public libraries, independent of the CeOS_SE project. The second part refers to the presentation of CSA carried out by the project partners with a detailed analysis with an emphasis on advantages and disadvantages in creating CSA with public libraries. The study presents the objectives of the activity, activity context, library staff organisational skills, CSA promotion, collaboration with the public library and participant evaluations. This study aims to show that there are multiple benefits in the organisation of CSA between university libraries and public libraries, and it can serve as an inspiration to other libraries around the world to organise similar events.
