Librarians and academic data specialists support the research data needs of faculty and students through conventional services such as consultations and workshops, but also increasingly by cultivating a data culture that supports the diverse data needs of their communities. The shift toward data-related research as a driver of social capital is a critical opportunity to reassess data literacy training and build a local scholarly culture around data.

In five parts, Data Culture in Academic Libraries: A Practical Guide to Building Communities, Partnerships, and Collaborations can help you foster an institutional culture that favors the curation, creation, and wider use of datasets.
  • Data at all Levels
  • Data Services and Instruction
  • Data Outreach
  • Data Communities
  • Data Partnerships
Chapters include case studies, practical examples, and strategies from practitioners in North America, Asia, and Europe working in a wide range of academic contexts and fostering data partnerships and communities that often go beyond their libraries and institutions. Data Culture in Academic Libraries highlights the ways that library workers are developing novel and innovative models of relationship-building to improve data-related services while incorporating a lens of equity, diversity, anti-racism, and inclusion in programming events and partnerships.
