Data literacy for libraries : a local perspective on Library Carpentry
Bibliothek -- Forschung und Praxis, (2020)
Abstract
In the past decades, libraries have developed into sophisticated information centres. This evolution requires a new set of computational expertises and competencies but also a change in the general attitude toward continuous learning. “Library Carpentry”, as a lesson programm of the “The Carpentries” community offers an elaborate and evidence-based collection of approaches for efficient teaching of the required computational skills and concepts. This article introduces Library Carpentry and presents how it is applied at ZB MED - Information Centre for Life Sciences as a foundation for teaching digital literacy.
