Models of Support for Data Science: The Perspective of Two Libraries
Channel: CNI: Coalition for Networked Information
Date: 17/04/2024

The University of Göttingen and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) both have new but robust data science departments. The libraries of both institutions have committed significant effort to support the emergence of new data-intensive disciplines, majors, and students’ needs. But their focus has been from differing perspectives: the State and University Library Göttingen has created a department within the library that shares a faculty member, centering data science within the organization. The UCSD Library maintains a more traditional support role, focused on pedagogical support in student projects. Nevertheless both institutions have started to explore how cooperation between these departments can be realized and how they can offer students international experience through joint exchanges and joint projects. The session will share successes and challenges in these experiences and explore the new collaboration between the universities.
