The role of the librarian in the Digital Age is changing. How will the role evolve? What new skills could make integrate librarians even more in the academic workflows? Can librarian empower Open Science through active participation in the academic research process?

Data Scientist Training for Librarians (DST4L) is an experimental course, started at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics John G. Wolbach Library and the Harvard Library to train librarians to respond to the growing data needs of their communities.

Data science techniques are becoming increasingly important to all fields of scholarship. In this hands-on course, librarians learn the latest tools for extracting, wrangling, storing, analyzing, and visualizing data. By experiencing the research data lifecycle themselves, librarians develop the data savvy skills that can help transform the services they offer. Read more about how it all began here.

Thanks to support from DTU Library, The Royal Library in Copenhagen, and The Royal School of Library and Information Science, DST4L is taking place in the EU for a second year.

The workshops runs from December 7th to December 9th and the schedule can be found here.

If you cannot attend the workshop, the workshop will be live streamed and recorded for people not attending the 3 days.
