The first time we heard about Open Science, we felt it was a big challenge but at the same time a golden opportunity for the Library. The biggest challenge is to learn something very new that is not taught while in library courses at university, moreover to convince researchers to also collaborate in this effort. As this initiative is very important to be realized, the Library has taken the initiative to lead this movement at USM by focusing on awareness programs as the first step in ensuring the success of this agenda. So in this presentation, we will share about the program we have run as a starting point to this long journey. Hopefully this small effort will open more opportunities towards the success of the Open Science agenda in Malaysia in the future.
