Abstract
Open Science promotes scholarly communications through collaborations between societal agents
by sharing information that is accessible and reusable for everyone. The benefit of science and
society promotes transparent and reproducible open knowledge creation and engagement of societal
actors to enhance scientific knowledge. This study focuses on the core concepts of Open Science and
Library and Information Science discipline to delineate a relational association between the two.
This study also tries identifying the motivational traits in Library Management and Open Science by
interpreting Maslow’s Need Theory and Schwartz’s Value Theory. Lastly, this study traces technology
acceptance by library professionals with the elaboration of the Technology Acceptance Model
given by Davis. Libraries provide open access and sharing of resources, information storage and
retrieval, data handling and research data management, and guide researchers on open access
publishing, open licensing, and others. In the proposed Technology Acceptance model conceived by
the authors, the external factors actively or passively influence the attitude and behaviors of library
professionals to use technology and systems for promoting Open Science initiatives and practices.
