LIS 628: Data Librarianship and Management

forthebadge forthebadge forthebadge

A class for Pratt SLIS by Vicky Rampin.

Class description

The world of data is seemingly a new frontier for libraries, yet in some ways, data and data sets are comparable to other print and electronic resources that librarians historically have been charged with locating, teaching, collecting, organizing, and preserving. This course asks how best we can serve the needs of a burgeoning community of data users/producers while meeting the new challenges that data present to our existing skillsets, workflows, and infrastructure. Topics will include data reference and literacy; archives and repositories; formats and standards; ethics and policy. Statistical/GIS software and research data management are also explored.

Build our book locally

  1. Fork, clone or download this project (See #1-4 in the 'Contribute!' section below).

  2. Install R & RStudio.

  3. Install the bookdown, RMarkdown, and tinytex packages in RStudio with the following two commands in the R terminal:

    • install.packages(c("rmarkdown", "bookdownplus", "tinytex", "webshot"))
    • tinytex::install_tinytex()
    • webshot::install_phantomjs()

    You can also click Tools > Install Packages and paste in the package names there (make sure "install dependencies" is checked) separated by commas, like so: rmarkdown, bookdownplus, tinytex, webshot.

  4. Go to the project folder and double click lis-628-data-librarianship.Rproj to start the project in RStudio.

  5. Run this command in the R Console after RStudio opens: bookdown::render_book('index.Rmd', 'all')

  6. Go to the folder _book in the project folder and click index.html to view the book locally in your browser.
