DCC comments on “Long-Lived Digital Data Collections: Enabling Research and Education in the 21st Century, a draft report of the National
Science Board”.
DCC is trying to re-invent the wheel. Curation the new buzzword is not seen as part of library-information science. How DCC sees librarians?
“Librarians have and archivists developed important skills in the collection, management and appraisal of data. However, their usefulness is sometimes questioned in the changing information landscape. This is an opportunity for these professionals to take on new roles, first through training in new information technologies and second by creating new forms of partnership with scientists and researchers. The development of these hybrid skills is an urgent requirement for educational and research organisations.”
Aren’t librarians/Archvists part of this technological realm and even leaders?”
