Описание: This book is a practical guide to how to get started as a data librarian with little time, no money but great enthusiasm. Theories and Methods in Data Science Librarianship describes and extends the role of the data science librarian through real-world cases and proposes several methods employed by public and academic libraries to develop and further educate the librarian. It is a collection of the best knowledge from published literature and experts in one place, creating an easy to read overview. The perspectives offered in the book are critical, in that they are reflexive about the role of the librarian and consider challenges and multidimensionality of the librarians profile. This multidimensionality requires theories that address data services as research objects (data-management, definition of concepts, researchers as individual agents, accessibility, funding, profile and education). The book covers: how to get started as a data librarian the history and the motivations of the data science librarianship community how data librarians can close the data literacy divide library policy and data science untangling the jungle of copyright and laws surrounding data use and data protection data ethics how library leaders can support and develop data science librarianship managing data science projects and services on no budget inspiring data science projects at the public library library carpentry skills and teaching how to identify user needs and develop relevant data science services. The book will be essential reading for librarians and information specialists working working with data related tasks including, research librarians, embedded librarians, metadata librarians, cataloguers, public librarians mediating the possibilities in data for library users and students of library and information science. It will also be of interest to those working in archives, museums and other cultural heritage institutions.

Описание:

How librarians can be radical positive change agents in their communities, dedicated to learning and making a difference.

This book offers a guide for librarians who see their profession as a chance to make a positive difference in their communities -- librarians who recognize that it is no longer enough to stand behind a desk waiting to serve. R. David Lankes, author of The Atlas of New Librarianship, reminds librarians of their mission: to improve society by facilitating knowledge creation in their communities. In this book, he provides tools, arguments, resources, and ideas for fulfilling this mission. Librarians will be prepared to become radical positive change agents in their communities, and other readers will learn to understand libraries in a new way.

The librarians of Ferguson, Missouri, famously became positive change agents in August 2014 when they opened library doors when schools were closed because of civil unrest after the shooting of an unarmed teen by police. Working with other local organizations, they provided children and their parents a space for learning, lunch, and peace. But other libraries serve other communities -- students, faculty, scholars, law firms -- in other ways. All libraries are about community, writes Lankes; that is just librarianship.

In concise chapters, Lankes addresses the mission of libraries and explains what constitutes a library. He offers practical advice for librarian training; provides teaching notes for each chapter; and answers "Frequently Argued Questions" about the new librarianship.

Описание: Teaching to Individual Differences in Science and Engineering Librarianship: Adapting Library Instruction to Learning Styles and Personality Characteristics applies learning styles and personality characteristics to science and engineering library instruction. After introducing the idea that individuals tend to choose college majors and occupations in alignment with their learning style and personality characteristics, the book presents background on the Kolb Learning Styles model, the 16 PF (Personality Factor) framework, and the Big Five/Narrow Traits personality framework. It then reviews extant knowledge on the learning styles and personality characteristics of scientists, engineers and librarians. Next, the book considers general approaches to the personalization of instruction to learning styles and personality characteristics, opportunities for such personalization in science and engineering library instruction, and science and engineering librarian attitudes towards, and approaches to, this type of personalization of instruction.

Описание: Whether you’re a library professional with decades of experience or a recent graduate in your first position, career enrichment can mean so much more than simply watching a webinar, taking a class, or even attending a conference. There’s a different kind of professional development out there, one that involves travel, experiencing different cultures and new languages, and learning the kinds of interpersonal skills you can’t get sitting behind a desk. Volunteering in international libraries is not only feasible, it’s also the perfect prescription for recharging, renewing, and recommitting oneself to librarianship. In this book the authors draw from their experiences working with groups such as Librarians without Borders to offer a passport to these exciting opportunities, regardless of your career path or what kind of institution you serve. Easy to follow and packed with everything you need to get underway, this guide includesan in-depth discussion of what international librarianship (IL) entails, and why its emphasis on collaboration and advocacy makes it such a nourishing form of professional development;stories from librarians around the world about their own IL approaches, activities, and experiences;straightforward guidance for getting started, from researching IL opportunities to making it work in the context of your job;trip planning, fundraising, and cost saving tips for maximizing limited time and budgets;advice on staying connected and maintaining momentum after the trip is over;ways to bypass the need to travel by volunteering digitally and remotely; anddetailed information about IL organizations and additional resources.This resource is your passport to finding personal enrichment and professional development through volunteering internationally.

Описание: Just as it did for society at large, the second half of the 20th century brought monumental upheaval to librarianship, affecting every aspect of what it means to be a part of the information services profession. But as the librarians who worked during this tumultuous period end their careers, the social memory of their extraordinary generation is at risk of being forgotten. Encompassing a full spectrum of institutions and roles, Smith’s important oral history draws from the professional life stories of dozens of librarians to chronicle this transitional period. Captured in stories sure to resonate are the regret and nostalgia for the librarianship practiced at the beginning of their careers, excitement and wonder about how technology has fundamentally changed the profession, and perspectives on the stereotypes associated with librarians. The result is a book as entertaining as it is instructive. Featuring a foreword by Dr. Loriene Roy, it explores such themes as becoming librarians, both consciously and accidentally;memories of library school and training;clichés and stereotypes, both inside and outside the profession;what it was like to experience the beginning of the technology revolution, spanning the card catalog era through the age of online database searching, OPACs, and beyond;wisdom gleaned from a lifetime of changing technology and obsolescence;professional challenges such as sexism and the struggles for promotion, funding, and compensation; and inspiring stories of helping patrons, performing outreach, and serving the community . Providing memories for the contributors’ peers and valuable background and context to those just entering the field, this book also offers a primer of oral history theory and methodology for those studying the form.
