Citizen Science Book Discussion

Join the River Forest Sustainability Commission for a discussion of the book Citizen Science: How Ordinary People Are Changing the Face of Discovery by Caren Cooper. This book was selected in honor of World Migratory Bird Day, the theme of which this year is citizen science. Learn about how you, as an ordinary citizen, can contribute to scientific knowledge.

A small number of print copies will be available at the circulation desk one month before the discussion, but an ebook version is also available through hoopla. Due to limited availability in print, we recommend using hoopla. 

For the discussion, special attention will be paid to chapter two (on ornithology), chapter three (on entomology), and chapter seven (on conservation biology), plus the introduction and conclusion.
