# What's a Data Librarian?

--

### A short definition

A data librarian works at the intersection of research data management, the research lifecycle, and digital curation.

"Databrarians" are typically found in academic or research libraries.

--

### Key areas of work

* Research Data Management
* Data Reference and Instruction
* Digital Archiving and Curation
* Library Research/Data Services

--

## The DataONE lifecycle

### Stuff that I do

* Data management planning
* Database evaluation
* Custom scripting/coding
* Application management
* Data visualization
* Data munging/reformatting
* Reference
* Digital archiving

--

### So, Dave... How'd you become a Data Librarian?

***Serendipity.***

1. Guitarist
2. Musicologist
3. ?
4. Data Services Librarian

--

### But seriously, how do I get started?

* Practical, hands-on experience is invaluable
   * Look for internships/jobs related to digital preservation/curation
* Metadata formats and linked data
* Take coursework related to digital preservation/curation, data management, and/or big data
* Get familiar with the Data Research Lifecycle

--

### More serious

* Learn to some Unix utilities
* Develop skills in at least one programming language, such as Python or R
* Scripting and query languages such as Bash and SQL are useful
* Familiarity with data formats, including open, propriety, and domain specific
