Research data: key to the transformation to the next generation of academic libraries and librarians

ALIA National 2014 Conference, 15-19 September 2014 Melbourne : together we are stronger

This conference paper explores how to become a data librarian, opportunities for transformation, understanding how research data are resources for new teaching and learning models and a horizon scan of what research data are available. The Australian National Data Service (ANDS) has worked with over 90 Australian research institutions and their Librarians and data managers to bring together in excess of 100,000 Australian research data collection records. CSIRO has partnered with ANDS in developing and publishing their research datasets.
