#DST4L

Librarians have always been great at information management and organization. Librarians are also outstanding communicators and have been trained in transforming user information needs into strategies and resources for investigation and learning. These are core skills in data science and there is a need to focus on the role of librarians in data science in the DFFU-sector. The essential task of the data science professional is to transform raw, messy data into actionable knowledge that can be used by decision makers. Data Scientist Training for Librarians (DST4L) is a three day symposium that addresses the challenges of data science head on. DST4L is a hands-on introduc-tion in ways to collect, clean, analyze, visualize and importantly share data. International teachers and speakers are present to put the practical and politi-cal application of data science into context and lead an open discussion into why data science is important for the evolving role of librarians.

The symposium will be held at DTU on the 7th , 8th & 9th of December 2016.
