[IAUC] [AstroLib] Data Scientist Training for Librarians (DST4L) in Europe

[Erdmann, Christopher]

Dear all,



Please share this invitation to join the upcoming Data Scientist Training
for Librarians in Copenhagen DTU later this year!



Thank you in advance!





*Data Scientist Training for Librarians (DST4L) will be in Europe for the
first time from 9-11 September 2015*



*Background*

The amount of research data is growing exponentially. Digitalization, new
instruments and new methods create data on an unprecedented scale.

However, it also provides exciting new possibilities:

·         to utilize the data more intensively and in new contexts

·         to combine data sets across projects

·         to visualize the data

·         to uncover hidden and implicit knowledge in data sets

·         to establish new collaborations and promote and accelerate
research and innovation.



Do librarians have a role in this development – we think so!

DST4L is aimed specifically at librarians and research librarians. The
course has international instructors who are specialists in teaching
non-experts in data processing, data analysis and visualization.



*Seize the opportunity to open the door to a new and exciting career!*

DST4L will provide a unique insight into what is a particularly hot topic
in the research (library) world right now and it could be the start of an
interesting career in a field that is undergoing rapid development. DST4L
not only provides an insight into data science, but also gives you direct
practical experience, as the course is largely based on hands-on training.
Therefore, it is essential that you are ready to be challenged on your
skills – especially IT-related skills – however, it is readiness for this,
which is important and not necessarily to master Python or GitHub from the
start. We hope that the training may help to create an interest among the
participants of Data Science because we believe that librarians possess
basic skills that, in combination with stronger IT skills and analytical
skills, could become an extremely powerful data scientist librarian profile.

Sign you up here http://www.altbibl.io/dtu/ before 10 June. NB! The number
of seats is limited.



*Who is behind DST4L*

DTU Library and DTU Bibliometrics and Data Management are hosts and
co-organizers of DST4L in collaboration with the EU project FOSTER (
https://www.fosteropenscience.eu/) and Chris Erdmann, Library Director of
the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, who has also been the
original organizer of DST4L in the United States. DST4L has previously been
successfully held twice in the states.



Best regards,
