Competência em dados: mapeamento e análise das ações de apoio à pesquisa em bibliotecas universitárias dos Países Baixos e Reino Unido

Abstract

The challenges of research data management face the need to develop skills and competences in research data, in support of the research process. In this sense, this work aims to investigate the actions of promoting data literacy offered in university libraries in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, aiming to systematize its content, so that it can contribute to actions of data literacy promoted by librarians. To this end, it proposes an excerpt from a survey carried out in the directory of the European University Association (2020). Checks in the British and Dutch libraries actions in data literacy offered by librarians from the analysis of the content of research data management. It identifies how data librarians promote actions in data literacy in aid to research and what are the contents explored, through those of the content grouping about the workshops and training offered by the libraries of Dutch and British institutions. It analyzes the relationship of Dutch and British libraries with the management of research data by examining the available materials. It uses as a theoretical reference the information literacy, data literacy and the discussions around the data librarian. Its methodological procedure is a qualitative approach based on an exploratory method and the creation of categories. To compose the analysis, it uses the criteria of Bardin (1977) by means of a survey of the actions of competence in data in the institutional portals to compose the analysis of the descriptions, content analysis and available materials. The aim is to identify workshops and training that are being offered by Dutch and British institutions in the period of October 2020 and March 2021, if they are not available on the portals they will be requested by email. As a result, it presents a conceptual map from the analysis of the relationship between the library and the research data management. It proposes with a summary of the categories of research data management a classification of actions of data literacy based on the Canons established by Ranganathan (1967). It concludes that the scope of data literacy goes beyond the practice and use of tools, but it includes a historical dimension of the process, its role and another, the critical dimension of the processes, purposes, tools, data use research, its relationship with society.
