요약Citizen science, or public engagement in scientific research, is a global phenomenon that provides benefits to both research practice and members of the public who participate. Historically, citizen science has been envisioned as occurring in the context of discrete projects - individual research efforts or data collection platforms focused on a specific type of observations. However, there is a growing recognition that the citizen science landscape is more complex than just projects, project staff, and participants, with online platforms, communities of practice, and resource hubs focused on citizen science growing exponentially over the past decade. Additionally, with the growing popularity and recognition of citizen science, many third party groups are choosing to implement citizen science to achieve their own programmatic goals or learning outcomes; we call these groups facilitator organizations. Facilitator organizations may include special interest groups hoping to promote research on a certain topic, such as the International Dark Sky Association or the National Pollinator Garden Network, or formal and informal educational groups like museums or scouting groups seeking an engaging way of promoting STEM or environmental learning. In this dissertation, I investigate the roles of facilitator organizations in the citizen science landscape. In my first research chapter, I looked at overall trends in participation on the SciStarter platform using metrics of breadth and depth and compared these trends between self-selecting and facilitated users. In the next chapter, I qualitatively examined a case study of the Girl Scouts' Think Like a Citizen Scientist Journey, assessing learning outcomes and community action that resulted from participation in the journey. In my last research chapter, I conducted a qualitative, multiple case study of US public libraries implementing citizen science programming, investigating how these experiences with citizen science support the process of science socialization, both for librarians and library patrons. My findings across all three chapters demonstrate the potential facilitator organizations have to expand learning and extend impact from citizen science participation, if facilitation is designed intentionally. In my final chapter, I conclude with recommendations for future research as well as practical suggestions for librarians and resource hubs like SciStarter.
