Practical Data Science for Information Professionals provides an accessible introduction to a potentially complex field, providing readers with an overview of data science and a framework for its application. It provides detailed examples and analysis on real data sets to explore the basics of the subject in three principle areas: clustering and social network analysis; predictions and forecasts; and text analysis and mining.
As well as highlighting a wealth of user-friendly data science tools, the book also includes some example code in two of the most popular programming languages (R and Python) to demonstrate the ease with which the information professional can move beyond the graphical user interface and achieve significant analysis with just a few lines of code.
After reading, readers will understand:
· the growing importance of data science
· the role of the information professional in data science
· some of the most important tools and methods that information professionals can use.
Bringing together the growing importance of data science and the increasing role of information professionals in the management and use of data, Practical Data Science for Information Professionals will provide a practical introduction to the topic specifically designed for the information community. It will appeal to librarians and information professionals all around the world, from large academic libraries to small research libraries. By focusing on the application of open source software, it aims to reduce barriers for readers to use the lessons learned within.

Описание: Academic and public libraries are continuing to transform as the information landscape changes, expanding their missions into new service roles that call for improved organizational performance and accountability. Since Assessing Service Quality premiered in 1998, receiving the prestigious Highsmith Library Literature Award, scores of library managers and administrators have trusted its guidance for applying a customer-centered approach to service quality and performance evaluation. This extensively revised and updated edition explores even further the ways technology influences both the experiences of library customers and the ways libraries themselves can assess those experiences. With a clear focus on real-world application, the authors: Challenge conventional thinking about the utility of input, output, and performance metrics by suggesting new ways to think about the evaluation and assessment of library services; Explain service quality and customer satisfaction, and demonstrate how they are separate but intertwined; Identify procedures for qualitatively and quantitatively measuring both service quality and satisfaction; Encourage libraries to take action by presenting concrete steps they can take to become more customer-centric; Offer a range of customer-related metrics that provide insights useful for library planning and decision making, such as surveys and focus groups.This book shows how to nurture an environment of continuous improvement through effective service quality assessment.
Автор: Jeannette Ekstrom, Lorna Wildgaard Название: Theories and Methods in Data Science Librarianship ISBN: 1783304081 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781783304080 Издательство: Bookpoint Рейтинг: Цена: 68580.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. 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.

The successful transmediation of books and documents through digitization requires the synergetic partnership of many professional figures, that have what may sometimes appear as contrasting goals at heart. On one side, there are those who look after the physical objects and strive to preserve them for future generations, and on the other those involved in the digitization of the objects, the information that they contain, and the management of the digital data. These complementary activities are generally considered as separate and when the current literature addresses both fields, it does so strictly within technical reports and guidelines, concentrating on procedures and optimal workflow, standards, and technical metadata. In particular, more often than not, conservation is presented as ancillary to digitization, with the role of the conservator restricted to the preparation of items for scanning, with no input into the digital product, leading to misunderstanding and clashes of interests.Surveying a variety of projects and approaches to the challenging conservation-digitization balance and fostering a dialogue amongst practitioners, this book aims at demonstrating that a dialogue between apparently contrasting fields not only is possible, but it is in fact desirable and fruitful. Only through the synergetic collaboration of all people involved in the digitization process, conservators included, can cultural digital objects that represent more fully the original objects and their materiality be generated, encouraging and enabling new research and widening the horizons of scholarship.
Автор: Karin Scheper Название: The Technique of Islamic Bookbinding: Methods, Materials and Regional Varieties. Second Revised Edition ISBN: 9004385487 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004385481 Издательство: Brill Цена: 197910.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: The Technique of Islamic Bookbinding is the first monograph dedicated to the technical development of the bookbinding tradition in the Islamic world. Based on an assessment of the extensive oriental collections in the Leiden University Library, the various sewing techniques, constructions and the application of covering materials are described in great detail. A comparative analysis of the historic treatises on bookbinding provides further insight into the actual making of the Islamic book. In addition, it is demonstrated that variations in time and place can be established with the help of distinctive material characteristics. Karin Scheper's work refutes the perception of Islamic bookbinding as a weak structure, which has generally but erroneously been typified as a case-binding. Instead, the author argues how diverse methods were used to create sound structures, thus fundamentally challenging our understanding of the Islamic bookbinding practice.
Karin Scheper has been awarded the De La Court Award 2016 by The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences for her study of the bookbinding tradition in the Islamic world.
