2 "Our work could be substantially aided with libraries providing systems for working with and curating data... 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" Dr Brian Schmidt, ANU Vice Chancellor and Nobel Laureate What researchers think

Library and information professionals in universities are taking, and will take, a far greater role in research. In some instances, researchers seek their help to make their outputs more accessible through bibliometrics, research data management and curation; in others, library staff become part of the research team itself. There is a growing demand for library professionals with data curation, data mining and data analysis skills. April 2014 What ALIA thinks
