Open science policies at the institutional level consequently followed and have been with us for over a decade. However, for several reasons, their adoption often is still far from complete when it comes to the practices of researchers or research groups. To improve this situation at our university, there is dedicated support at the infrastructural level: the university library collaborates with several campus units in developing and running services, activities and projects in support of open access and open science. This article outlines our main activity areas and aligns them with the overall rationale to reach higher uptake and acceptance of open science practice at the university. The mentioned examples of our activities highlight how we seek to advance open science along the needs and perspectives of diverse audiences and by running it as a multi-stakeholder endeavor. Therefore, our activities involve library colleagues with diverse backgrounds, faculty and early career researchers, research managers, as well as project and infrastructure staff. We conclude with a summary of achievements and challenges to be faced.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/publications6020027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,19]],"date-time":"2018-06-19T11:20:36Z","timestamp":1529407236000},"page":"27","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Open Science Support as a Portfolio of Services and Projects: From Awareness to Engagement"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8036-5859","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Birgit","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State and University Library, University of G\u00f6ttingen, 37073 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5080-036X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Bertino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State and University Library, University of G\u00f6ttingen, 37073 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4905-1936","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Beucke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State and University Library, University of G\u00f6ttingen, 37073 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3278-0422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helene","family":"Brinken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State and University Library, University of G\u00f6ttingen, 37073 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Najko","family":"Jahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State and University Library, University of G\u00f6ttingen, 37073 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2612-2132","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisa","family":"Matthias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State and University Library, University of G\u00f6ttingen, 37073 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0550-8818","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julika","family":"Mimkes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State and University Library, University of G\u00f6ttingen, 37073 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katharina","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State and University Library, University of G\u00f6ttingen, 37073 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4776-1440","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Astrid","family":"Orth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State and University Library, University of G\u00f6ttingen, 37073 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8246-8210","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Margo","family":"Bargheer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State and University Library, University of G\u00f6ttingen, 37073 G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"443","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2017.17566","article-title":"Medical Preprints\u2014A Debate Worth Having","volume":"319","author":"Maslove","year":"2018","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Eve, M.P.
