More about LibOCS also in the event “Let’s play a game and learn more about the research process”

In April, the event “Let’s play a game and learn more about the research process” took place, where the participants got to know Citizen Science, as well as learned about the LibOCS project. The event was organized by the library of the University of Latvia with the aim of giving library specialists and students the opportunity to learn more about the cycle of the research process and, within it, potential cross-references with Citizen Science. In the free atmosphere, several rounds of the game “Research Circle” with practical and research tasks were played out at the event. Feedback from participants was very positive and provided new ideas on how to further develop the game, as well as what to pay attention to when implementing the LibOCS project and promoting the popularity of Citizen Science.
