Call for Proposals: Lessons for Librarians in Open Science Principles and Methods | Open Science for Librarians | deadline January 31st, 2023

"The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Library, with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services as part of the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, aims to create 14 lessons that invite librarians to increase their aptitudes in the principles and practices of Open Science. Led by the UCLA Library Data Science Center, this project will incentivize two sequential one year cohorts of authors to develop and refine lessons through summer workshops. As part of this project, the UCLA Library Data Science Center is pleased to announce the call for proposals to develop lessons for librarians focused on open science methods and principles. This project seeks to support continued skills development for librarians in open science by creating a librarian-focused curriculum for open science. When librarians increase their aptitudes in the principles and practices of open science, they can provide instruction to researchers and better support faculty by advocating and teaching open and transparent techniques. In the summer workshops, we will utilize Carpentries Curriculum Development guidelines and the Collaborative Lesson Development Training program to provide a framework for curriculum development.

Program Goals-- This program will result in 14 open science course modules for librarians at any career stage, with seven lesson proposals selected each year of the grant. These curricula will be published online in an unrestricted and freely available manner for reuse and remixing. These lesson modules will be developed and supported through two virtual summer workshops, and we will use feedback from lesson piloting to test the learning objectives with librarian learners.

Lesson Proposal Parameters-- We are seeking lesson proposals intended for use in synchronous instruction settings. Lesson proposals should support both in-person and virtual environments. The completed lesson is expected to be 90 minutes to 3 hours long. We prefer submissions that use open resources, such as open-source tools and software, and resources that are broadly accessible to all...."
