Technological advances and the rise of collaborative,
interdisciplinary approaches have changed the practice of research.
The 21st century researcher not only faces the challenge of
managing increasingly complex datasets, but also new data sharing
requirements from funders and journals. Success in today's research
enterprise requires an understanding of how to work effectively
with data, yet most researchers have never had any formal training
in data management. Libraries have begun developing services and
programs to help researchers meet the demands of the data-driven
research enterprise, giving librarians exciting new opportunities
to use their expertise and skills. The Medical Library Association
Guide to Data Management for Librarians highlights the many ways
that librarians are addressing researchers' changing needs at a
variety of institutions, including academic, hospital, and
government libraries. Each chapter ends with "pearls of wisdom," a
bulleted list of 5-10 takeaway messages from the chapter that will
help readers quickly put the ideas from the chapter into practice.
From theoretical foundations to practical applications, this book
provides a background for librarians who are new to data management
as well as new ideas and approaches for experienced data
librarians.

This book describes the remarkable culture of jeliya, a musical and
verbal art from the Manding region of West Africa. Using an
embodied practice as her methodology, the author reveals how she
and her music teachers live "in between" local and global cultures.
Her journey spans 20 years of fieldwork presented through personal
and intimate stories, first as a student of the balafon instrument,
then as a patron of the music. Tensions build in both the music and
in social relations that require resolutions, underscoring the
differences between two world views. Through balafon lessons, the
author embodies values such as patience, courage, and generosity,
resulting in a transformative practice that leads her to better
understand her position vis-a-vis that of her jeli teachers.
Meanwhile, jeliya itself, despite having been transmitted from
teacher to student for 800 years, is currently in peril. Jelis cite
modern globalized culture and people like the author herself as
both a source of the problem as well as the potential solution.
Librarians have been providing support to researchers for many
years, typically with a focus on responding to researchers' needs
for access to the existing literature. However, librarians' skills
and expertise make them uniquely suited to provide a wide range of
assistance to researchers across the entire research process, from
conception of the research question to archiving of collected data
at the project's conclusion. In response to increasingly stringent
demands on researchers to share their data, and as computationally
intensive and primarily data-driven scientific methods begin to
take the place of traditional lab-based research, the "research
informationist" has emerged as a new information profession. With a
background in library and information sciences, as well as
expertise in best practices for data management, grant funder
policies, and informatics tools, the research informationist is
capable of implementing a full suite of research support services.
This book will discuss how the research informationist role has
developed out of the previously established clinical informationist
model and how it expands on the model of embedded librarianship.
The book will also examine core competencies for the successful
research informationist and the training and preparation necessary
for students in library and information sciences programs, as well
as currently practicing librarians. Finally, this book will
consider how research informationists can form collaborative
partnerships with research teams and build their services outside
the walls of the library, citing practical examples of the types of
support research informationists can offer.
