Library Data Services Landscape Scan
R code and data for a landscape scan of data services at academic libraries. Original data is licensed CC By 4.0, data obtained from other sources is licensed according to the original licensing terms. R scripts are licensed under the BSD 3-clause license.
Summary
This work generally focuses on four questions:
- Which research data services does an academic library provide?
- For a subset of those services, what form does the support come in? i.e. consulting, instruction, or web resources?
- Are there differences in support between three categories of services: data management, geospatial, and data science?
- How does library resourcing (i.e. salaries) affect the number of research data services?
Approach
Using direct survey of web resources, we investigated the services offered at 25 Research 1 universities in the United States of America.
