The Data Librarian’s HandbookRobin C Rice, University of Edinburgh and JohnSouthall, Oxford UniversityThe importance of data has never been greater. Therehas been a growing concern with the ‘skills gap’required to exploit the data surfeit; the ability to collect,compute and crunch data, for economic, social andscientific purposes. This book, written by two workingdata librarians based at the Universities of Oxford andEdinburgh aims to help fill this skills gap by providing anuts and bolts guide to research data support.The Data Librarian’s Handbook draws on acombination of over 30 years’ experience providing

data support services to create the ‘must-read’ book for all in this field.This book ‘zooms in’ to the actual library service level, where theinteraction between the researcher and the librarian takes place. Bothengaging and practical, this book draws the reader in through story-telling and suggested activities, linking concepts from one chapter toanother.Readership: This book is for the practising data librarian, possibly new in their postwith little experience of providing data support. It is also for managers and policy-makers, public service librarians, research data management “coordinators” anddata support staff. It will also appeal to students and lecturers in iSchools and otherlibrary and information degree programmes where academic research support istaught.
