Abstract

Abstract Data are generated during all human activities related to digital technology. In recent times, scientific research has increasingly opted for digital data as its primary source of data; data definition changes for different disciplines and researchers. In this context, we study the main characteristics of data librarianship as a specialized field of traditional librarianship concerned with data use in libraries. Our work is organized as follows: First, we present a proposed Venn diagram on the theoretical foundations of data librarianship; then, we point out the core skills needed by data librarians. Based on a non-exhaustive literature review, we point out the main topics of research in data librarianship. We describe the significance of research data, data management, data curatorship, and data repositories. Finally, we list a few certification courses in data librarianship. We conclude that data librarianship plays a dynamic role in the practical application of data technologies in libraries, and that professional development, certification, and training in data librarianship are interdisciplinary tasks linked to digital technologies.

数据图书馆作为一个实地研究

在与数字技术相关的所有人类活动中都会产生数据。近年来，科学研究越来越多地选择数字数据作为其主要数据来源;不同学科和研究人员对数据的定义不同。在此背景下，我们研究了数据图书馆学作为传统图书馆学的一个专业领域的主要特征。我们的工作组织如下:首先，我们提出了一个关于数据图书馆理论基础的维恩图;然后，我们指出了数据馆员所需要的核心技能。在非详尽的文献综述的基础上，我们指出了数据图书馆学研究的主要课题。我们描述了研究数据、数据管理、数据管理和数据存储库的重要性。最后，我们列出了一些数据图书馆认证课程。我们得出结论，数据图书馆在图书馆数据技术的实际应用中起着动态的作用，数据图书馆的专业发展、认证和培训是与数字技术相关的跨学科任务。
