Data intelligence in libraries: the actual and artificial perspectives

A WLIC 2019 pre-conference satellite meeting that investigates the underlying 
considerations for administering scholarly, scientific and operations data in 
libraries.

A pre-conference meeting to the 2019 World Library and Information Congress

For library managers there is a requirement for timely and insightful 
management information derived from library data generated by the use of online 
resources and library services. Library professionals need to continuously 
develop their digital fluency, literacy and data skills to become increasingly 
more “data savvy”, enabling themselves to be smarter in the use, wrangling, 
visualization and application of data.

Likewise, from an artificial perspective, machine agents are dependent on good 
quality data to be capable to infer and learn from it through a process of 
knowledge engineering. Libraries should leverage opportunities to implement 
interventions that could facilitate optimal access to reputable scientific 
data, thereby fostering the knowledge process by making data findable and 
available to information agents.

The one and a half-day meeting will take place on 22 and 23 August 2019, and is 
hosted by the German National Library in Frankfurt am Main. It is organized by 
the IFLA Big Data Special Interest Group.

The actual perspective
From an actual or real-world perspective, the library professional’s ability to 
derive information and insight from data is of paramount importance. For 
library managers there is a requirement for timely and insightful management 
information derived from library data generated by the use of online resources 
and library services. Library professionals need to continuously develop their 
digital fluency, literacy and data skills to become increasingly more “data 
savvy”, enabling themselves to be smarter in the use, wrangling, visualization 
and application of data.

The artificial perspective
Likewise, from an artificial perspective, machine agents are dependent on good 
quality data to be capable to infer and learn from it through a process of 
knowledge engineering. Libraries should leverage opportunities to implement 
interventions that could facilitate optimal access to reputable scientific 
data, thereby fostering the knowledge process by making data findable and 
available to information agents. In doing so libraries enable information 
agents to study the academic society from a big data perspective through macro 
analysis; in the process synthesizing knowledge and extracting structures which 
can lead to the discovery and communication of meaningful new patterns.

Who should attend?
All are welcome, but we anticipate the program will be of most interest to data 
literacy librarians, IT librarians, special collections librarians, data 
scientists, and library and IT managers.
