Abstract
Swygart-Hobaugh organized and moderated this panel for the 2018 IASSIST & CARTO annual conference.
The panelists and attendees engaged in a conversation about best practices for teaching data librarianship to aspiring and current librarians. The panelists represented the range of modes of teaching data librarianship: semester-long courses (face-to-face and online), full-day workshops, and "one shot" sessions.
- Mandy Swygart-Hobaugh, Georgia State University [moderator and presenter]
- Abigail Goben, University of Illinois at Chicago
- Margaret Smith, New York University
- Deena Yanofsky, University of Toronto
The following prompts guided the discussion:
- What areas of "data services" do you cover in your teaching, and why?
- What is one particular assignment or activity you have your students/attendees do that you find particularly effective, and why?
- Pick one challenge of teaching data librarianship...how do you try to overcome it?
- Data services cannot be done in a vacuum. How do you prepare data librarians to collaborate both inside and beyond the library?
- If you had to name one core skill that data librarians should have, what would that be and why?
Keywords
- research data services,
- data librarianship,
- library science pedagogy and curricula
