University libraries traditionally have calmer working conditions in the summer and everyone’s thoughts are in the mood of the approaching vacation. The exception was last summer, when the second stage of the study “The transformative role of academic libraries and memory institutions for citizen science and open science in the Baltic States” was launched at the beginning of the summer, which was carried out in the form of a survey by the participants of the “LibOCS” project.
This summer, the members of the Latvian Library Council started work on the development of a new “Library Industry Strategy 2023-2027” of the cultural state, which will be completed in December and submitted to the Minister of Culture of the Republic of Latvia for approval.
