  • Library Services and research Data support at King’s College London – profiling the research Data management Librarian
    2020
    Co-Authors: Wayne Peters
    Abstract:

    In this paper I explore the roles and responsibilities of the research Data Librarian at King’s College London and outline the skills, competences and knowledge needed to carry out this role. I draw upon my own experience as a research Data Librarian at King’s college London as well as referring to the literature on the topic. I focus in particular on research Data management training for researchers and the “unofficial” research Data management curriculum. I also look at aspects of Data management that we don’t include in our training – including domain specific guidance - and emphasise the importance of intra-organisational cooperation and researcher engagement for meeting the challenge of providing disciplinary specific support for research Data management.

  • systems Librarian it Librarian Data Librarian demand for graduates in germany austria and switzerland a quantitative job advertisement analysis
    2018
    Co-Authors: Cedrik Zellmann, Ina Blumel
    Abstract:

    This paper deals with new job profiles in libraries, mainly systems Librarians (German: Systembibliothekare), IT Librarians (German: IT-Bibliothekare) and Data Librarians (German: Datenbibliothekare). It investigates the vacancies and requirements of these positions in the German-speaking countries by analyzing one hundred and fifty published job advertisements of OpenBiblioJobs between 2012-2016. In addition, the distribution of positions, institutional bearers, different job titles as well as time limits, scope of work and remuneration of the positions are evaluated. The analysis of the remuneration in the public sector in Germany also provides information on demands for a bachelor's or master's degree. The average annual increase in job vacancies between 2012 and 2016 is 14.19%, confirming the need and necessity of these professional library profiles. The higher remuneration of the positions in Data management, in comparison to the systems Librarian, proves the prerequisite of the master's degree and thus indicates a desideratum due to missing or few master's degree courses. Accordingly, the range of bachelor's degree courses (or IT-oriented major areas of study with optional compulsory modules in existing bachelor's degree courses) for systems and IT Librarians must be further expanded. An alternative could also be modular education programs for Librarians and information scientists with professional experience, as it is already the case for music Librarians.
