Der Brite George Boole gilt als Begründer der modernen Informationstechnologie: Schon Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts formulierte er die Gesetze der Logik, nach denen heute Computer, Smartphones oder Internet-Suchmaschinen funktionieren.

Initial work in identifying data management or data information literacy skills generally went as far as identifying a list of proposed competencies without further differentiation between those competencies, whether by discipline, complexity, or use case. This article describes a significant innovation upon existing competencies by identifying a scaffolding (built upon existing competencies) that moves students progressively from undergraduate training through post graduate coursework and research to post-doctoral work and into the early years of data stewardship. The scaffolding ties together existing research that has been completed in research data management skills and data information literacy with research into the outcomes that are desirable for individuals to present in data management at each of the levels of education. Competencies are aligned according to application (personal, team, research enterprise) in such a way that the skills attained at the undergraduate level give students moving on to graduate work greater familiarity with data management and therefore greater likelihood of success at the graduate and then post graduate and data steward levels.
We're excited to announce our second of three Library 2.017 mini-conferences: Digital Literacy & Fake News, which will be held online (and for free)…
The professionals required to work in data science, data librarianship and data management are a new breed for whom the knowledge and skills requirements are just emerging. Academic institutions are putting together courses to address this shortage without fully understanding what the knowledge and skills requirements are for data professionals in different types of organisation types. This paper aims to increase that understanding.Interviews were conducted with 36 currently practicing data professionals and their employers about current knowledge and skills requirements. Participants were purposefully selected to achieve a cross section of data roles and employing institutions and interviews ceased once saturation was achieved.Two types of coding were employed: initial coding to establish categories, followed by more focused coding, for analytical depth. Every effort is made to accurately present the viewpoint of participants. All participants reported the importance of high level communication and personal learning skills and characteristics around curiosity, flexibility and comfort with change. In universities and scientific research organisations the required knowledge and skills are in areas which might be classified as data management and curation; and in business and government organisations, as data science and management. While there are still uncertainties about knowledge and skills requirements and role ambiguities in different data roles in different organisational types, knowledge and skills related to particular roles begin to emerge and are discussed.
The Research Skill Development site provides numerous discipline-based applications of a conceptual framework used by academics to explicitly develop coursework student research skills.

Future Skills werden definiert als Fähigkeiten, die in den nächsten fünf Jahren für das Berufsleben und/oder die gesellschaftliche Teilhabe deutlich wichtiger werden – und zwar über alle Branchen und Industriezweige hinweg.
Vortrag im Rahmen der Ringvorlesung des Zentrums für Weiterbildung der Universität Hamburg zum Thema Offenheit in der Wissenschaft als Teil der Veranstaltung Corona und Open Science: Qualität von Wissenschaft und die Ansprüche auf Schnelligkeit. "Welche Auswirkungen hat die Corona-Krise auf die wissenschaftliche Forschung? Wissenschaftler*innen weltweit veröffentlichen ihre Forschungsergebnisse als Preprints. Die Corona-Warn-App wurde quelloffen entwickelt. Wie lassen sich die Ansprüche auf eine schnelle Veröffentlichung mit Qualitätsansprüchen vereinbaren? Und welche Voraussetzungen sollten Politik und Hochschulen dafür schaffen, dass Wissen und Forschung (auch) in Zukunft geöffnet und geteilt werden können?"

Student open access publishing offers a useful avenue for academic information literacy in preparation for real-world experiences. Worthwhile drivers of connected learning, digital research and institutional repositories are practical ecosystems for conveying the complexities of the economics and ethics of information creation, access, and use. Drawing on essential concepts, NSUWorks exemplifies a dynamic tool for learners’ engagement with the research lifecycle and for fostering dispositions of critical thinking, reading, and composing for success and professional development.
This article provides information on a chemical information literacy program designed primarily for new graduate students. The full implementation of this program is discussed, including defining its purpose, topics covered, content presented, methods of marketing, and evaluation. The result is a series of voluntary seminars given biweekly throughout the academic year. Seminars are based either around a particular resource or database or are centered on a topical problem that may be addressed using multiple resources. Evaluations show that graduate students are pleased with the seminars, including content covered and the format. Areas for future development and experimentation are also suggested.

Dwili reimagines the classroom in response to the proliferation of open, collaborative digital media platforms and information spaces. This revision is needed because participatory online environments are redefining both what it means to engage in “writing” and strive towards “literacy.” In our current information environment, learners engage in multi-modal inscription using words, images, video, sound, and more. …
