Some interesting observations in this article about
the role of libraries for example “Our work could be substantially
aided with libraries providing systems for working with and curating
data. Libraries need to figure out how to help
curate and make available data and data products. Ideally, we would
have librarians taking on increasingly specialist niches, across many
institutions. In our library, we are bringing in more staff who have
expertise in data management – trained astronomers
who decide they want to be exporting data to the masses. I think
training people in library science curation is important too, and I
imagine we will increasingly see individuals with these skill sets and
background embedded in the teams that produce, maintain,
and provide access to various data products.”
