AB  - Apart from an underdeveloped infrastructure, a major obstacle to the implementation of the national Open Science (OS) Platform (adopted in 2018) in Serbia was the lack of institutionalized training for librarians and researchers. Training on OS was provided mainly through international projects. The Library and Information Science curriculum, professional development programmes for librarians, and training offered by university libraries were not focused on developing skills for OS. When the University of Belgrade Computer Centre started building the repository infrastructure, this knowledge gap hindered the adoption of repositories and it was soon realized that the service package offered to institutions (software, hosting, technical support) should also include training, both for repository managers (usually librarians) and end users (researchers). To this end, a user support team was established.
Two training modules and materials have been designed, and users have been offered a flexible training schedule. To address the knowledge gap, the training covers a range of topics beyond repository features and workflows: Open Access policies, FAIR principles, metadata standards, copyright, self-archiving policies, altmetrics, dissemination through metadata harvesting, discovery platforms (OpenAIRE, BASE, CORE), using institutional repositories in the context of Research Data Management and cultural heritage. So far, this concept has proven to be efficient in mitigating the lack of institutionalized training. Along with supporting the growth of institutional repositories (more than 20 in three years), this approach to training has helped build an institutional capacity for OS, raise the awareness of librarians’ roles, and increase employment opportunities for librarians. At the same time, it has stirred an interest in archiving research data and non-publication materials in institutional repositories, as well as a growing demand among researchers and librarians for additional, more specialized training, which can be easily provided by expanding the existing concept in a modular fashion.
