Priložnosti za posredovanje znanja knjižničarjem o odprtem dostopu se kažejo v krepitvi osebnih stikov v stroki ter s promocijo na strokovnih srečanjih in na spletnih portalih. Ključne besede: odprta znanost, odprti dostop, visokošolske knjižnice, vloga knjižničarja Abstract Open science represents a modern communication in the science of the 21st century and assumes the openness of all phases of research work. It has been developed on the initiative of researchers at the end of the last century. Upon its enactment, it is neces­ sary to transform the role of academic librarians. The aim of this paper is to present the role of academic librarians in the field of open science and how the Slovenian academ­ ic librarians perceive it. We conducted a survey among academic librarians at three public universities in Slovenia in the summer of 2017. The data were obtained using a web-based questionnaire. We analysed 64 questionnaires that were fully filled out. The results of the survey showed that most of the interviewees understood the notion of open science merely as open access to scientific publications and research data and metadata related to them. Moreover, the interviewees highlighted the construction of a repository as a very important task in the work of the academic librarian in the field of open science. We found, however, that the latter is more important to librarians work­ ing at the University of Maribor than to those who work at the University of Ljubljana. Only few recognized the importance of the role of the librarian in checking the content similarity, and only one librarian emphasized the need for an active role in advising on the copyright. More than half of the interviewees claimed that, in their library, some­ one qualified for this type of work carries out the tasks related to open science. We believe that academic librarians in Slovenia could be more involved in performing the tasks related to open science. Professional meetings and open access web portals serve as excellent means of providing knowledge to librarians. Keywords: open science, open access, academic libraries, the role of a librarian 1 Uvod Visokošolske knjižnice imajo pomembno vlogo pri podpori izobraževalnemu, znanstvenemu in raziskovalnemu delu. S svojimi storitvami pripomorejo k raz­ voju znanosti. Pomemben dejavnik v procesu raziskovanja je možnost dostopa raziskovalcev do že objavljenih ugotovitev. Takšna izmenjava informacij prispeva k napredku znanstvenega raziskovanja, zaradi hitrega razvoja znanosti pa je pomembno, da lahko raziskovalci do objav dostopajo čim prej. V tradicionalnem modelu za­ ložništva, kjer revije bralcem zaračunavajo naročnino, je zaradi višanja cen in posledično zmanjšanja števila dostopnih revij to večkrat oteženo. Raziskovalci
