"I particularly liked Koltay’s discussion of the data librarianship role and the differences between data and information (pp. 154-155). Starting from that point might inspire you to then delve into the theoretical discussions of those concepts in earlier chapters....It might be useful for readers to note that this book is an extension of Koltay’s previousbook Research 2.0 and the future of information literacy (2016), which addressed the types of literacies relevant to researchers, particularly information literacy. While Research data management and data literacies takes this one step further into data management, it continues the theme that librarians should be involved in supporting and educating researchers." --Mary Coe, JALIA
