Community Science; Participatory Science : Home

Community scientists advance knowledge by observing phenomena, recording data, and assisting, actively, with professional researchers in the field. This guide has been created to bring together selected resources that speak to community, participatory science as a topic of scholarship and community of practice as well as to opportunities through which our students, general public, and research staff can engage.

While opportunities abound, it has been my intent (primarily) to identify and to link to programs, projects, and educational tools (library collections and services) from within our "neighborhood"-- our institution, Wisconsin, and the Midwest.
