5 Nov 2003USTLG3 Science Complex Specialised A process Misunderstood Documented All pervasive in effects on 21st century life

5 Nov 2003USTLG4 ‘Science & Society’ COPUS –BA, Roy Soc, Roy Inst H of L SC on Sci Technol Report –radioactive waste, BSE, GM foods, cloning –more openness/dialogue from scientific institutions should play an integral role in scientific decision-making BA report

5 Nov 2003USTLG5 S&S. Messages A crisis of trust. Listen to the public's values and attitudes ‘PUS’ is demeaning and condescending and is no longer enough Secrecy must give way to a presumption of openness and transparency Scientists must learn to live with a free press

5 Nov 2003USTLG6 OST Science & Society Directorate –overview and coordination of S&S work across DTI and government –funds public engagement with science and confidence in science –scientific workforce and careers –diversity in science funding and workforce

5 Nov 2003USTLG7 POST –publications on S&S –other good summaries of key topics

5 Nov 2003USTLG8 No more ivory towers Public Understanding of Science Public Unease about Science Science and Society Blakemore - (new MRC chief) –The big issue to be addressed is public trust in science –Scientists should be rewarded for public communication

5 Nov 2003USTLG9 Dialogue No longer an optional extra Bread and butter for scientists Cultural change

5 Nov 2003USTLG10 ‘Science & Society’ & Libraries Guardians of the scientific record Anything else?

5 Nov 2003USTLG11 Science libraries’ role Supporting undergraduate learning Supporting scientific research

5 Nov 2003USTLG12 A new frontier Another adventure PEST is about information –Open Access may break some barriers

5 Nov 2003USTLG13 Stretching THES, 11 July 2003 Steve Morgan (Univ Glam) “Why don’t library staff go into local communities and preach the HE gospel?” Collaboration between different library services

5 Nov 2003USTLG14 Libraries and S&S Supporting researchers Outreach Fringes Stimulating/coordinating institutional response

5 Nov 2003USTLG15 Feed information to researchers Collection development –Popular science, policy, “how-to” guides Information / news service –Legal, news, reports, meetings

5 Nov 2003USTLG16 Engage in outreach? School visits Information on external website –FOI; may need context Services to public –Allow them in? –Develop materials? Outreach to non-science students –Science and citizenship now taught in schools

5 Nov 2003USTLG17 Fringes Art-science projects –Library may have materials to feed artists’ imaginations History of science –Can be a way in to science

5 Nov 2003USTLG18 Institutional response It is wider than the Library Library may stimulate / coordinate –Publishing, events Partnership with PR department? –They may have science writers in post –Can the Library assist?

5 Nov 2003USTLG19 Is this all nonsense? Is this stretching our skills too far? Do we have time for all this? Are others doing the job fine anyway? Do I want the public in my library?
