Summary:
It goes without saying that the role of the library in providing access to digital resources and data, as well as helping to navigate science data sharing and usage, is crucial to students and researchers alike. Data sharing encourages more connection and collaboration between researchers and librarians, which can result in important new findings within the field but also comes with its own challenges which need to be navigated and addressed.
Join this one-hour webinar presented by Springer Nature, Choice, and the ACRL, where our guest speaker Prof Fatos Xhafa from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), and Book Series Editor of Lecture Notes on Data Engineering and Communications Technologies will be discussing the following topics:
- Why is scientific data sharing of importance to researchers?
- What are the challenges and opportunities for researchers and libraries?
- Managing data science projects in practice
