The importance of data has never been greater. There has been a
growing concern with the skills required to exploit the data
surfeit; the ability to collect, compute and crunch data, for
economic, social and scientific purposes. This book, written by two
working data librarians based at the Universities of Oxford and
Edinburgh aims to help fill this skills gap by providing a nuts and
bolts guide to research data support. 'The Data Librarian's
Handbook' draws on a combination of over 30 years experience
providing data support services to create the must-read book for
all entrants to this field. This book zooms in to the actual
library service level, where the interaction between the researcher
and the librarian takes place. Both engaging and practical, this
book draws the reader in through story-telling and suggested
activities, linking concepts from one chapter to another. This book
is for the practising data librarian, possibly new in their post
with little experience of providing data support. It is also for
managers and policy-makers, public service librarians, research
data management coordinators and data support staff. It will also
appeal to students and lecturers in iSchools and other library and
information degree programmes where academic research support is
taught. The importance of data has never been greater. There has
