Librarians understand the need to store, use and analyze data
related to their collection, patrons and institution, and there has
been consistent interest over the last 10 years to improve data
management, analysis, and visualization skills within the
profession. However, librarians find it difficult to move from
out-of-the-box proprietary software applications to the skills
necessary to perform the range of data science actions in code.
This book will focus on teaching R through relevant examples and
skills that librarians need in their day-to-day lives that includes
visualizations but goes much further to include web scraping,
working with maps, creating interactive reports, machine learning,
and others. While there’s a place for theory, ethics, and
statistical methods, librarians need a tool to help them acquire
enough facility with R to utilize data science skills in their
daily work, no matter what type of library they work at (academic,
public or special). By walking through each skill and its
application to library work before walking the reader through each
line of code, this book will support librarians who want to apply
data science in their daily work. Hands-On Data Science for
Librarians is intended for librarians (and other information
professionals) in any library type (public, academic or special) as
well as graduate students in library and information science (LIS).
Key Features: Only data science book available geared toward
librarians that includes step-by-step code examples Examples
include all library types (public, academic, special) Relevant
datasets Accessible to non-technical professionals Focused on job
skills and their applications
