Book Review: Academic Libraries and Public Engagement with Science and Technology

Abstract

This book delivers what the title suggests: a variety of strategies for academic libraries to engage their users and the general public with science and emerging technologies. It achieves this with two approaches: the first, by discussing a topic–whether it be citizen science or open science–and second, by describing numerous real-world case studies for each. The intended audience is primarily academic librarians in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines.
