Internet Resources for a Better Society: Open Science-Documents and Resources

Content of the seminar

The content of the seminar is to familiarize the participants with available resources on the Internet that enable the improvement of various human activities, and thus the construction of a better society. As a large part of these resources is available in the context of the paradigm of Open Science, participants get to know its program and goals and get to know the sources that make the entire scientific research process available, not just its result. The content of the seminar is directly related to the needs of employees in the library and information activity, who are the initiators of using new sources and tools available on the Internet. Given that the principles of Open Science are applied to the entire process of production of scientific and artistic results, it is necessary to familiarize employees in the library and information activity with all aspects of Open Science and its sources.
