“The role of the library in data-intensive research is important and a strategic repositioning of the library with respect to research support is now appropriate.”
Swan & Brown, 2008

• increasing data-awareness amongst researchers
• providing archiving and preservation services for data within the institution through institutional repositories
• developing a new professional strand of practice in the form of data librarianship
“[data librarians] have a responsibility to design and implement education and outreach programs that make the benefits of data collections and digital information science available to the broadest possible range of researchers, educators, students, and the general public.”The National Science Foundation, 2005
“It is exceedingly rare that fundamentally new approaches to research and education arise. Information technology has ushered in such a fundamental change. Digital data collections are at the heart of this change. They enable analysis at unprecedented levels of accuracy and sophistication and provide novel insights through innovative information integration. Through their very size and complexity, such digital collections provide new phenomena for study. At the same time, such collections are a powerful force for inclusion, removing barriers to participation at all ages and levels of education.”
