Open Scholarship Champions: Promoting open scholarship among librarians and beyond

The Open Scholarship Champions Group consists of an ad hoc group of librarians from ASU Library formed to discuss and promote open science and scholarship practices and tools. With the intention to spread the use of open scholarship practices, the group started a series of webinars and workshops focused on topics and tools, including the foundations of open scholarship and the Open Refine application. Additionally, our group decided that each webinar would be taught twice, once for the internal library audience and once for the larger ASU community. By promoting open scholarship practices through inclusive learning opportunities and cross-campus collaboration, this project exemplifies ASU's charter commitment to serving as a model of inclusivity and social embeddedness, advancing research that is accessible, equitable, and impactful. This session will detail our methods for outreach and professional development, in addition to inviting insights on what others are doing to promote open scholarship.
