Data literacy as a component of information literacy and the new roles of information professionals
Abstract
Information literacy has experienced constant change due to the growing relevance of data in today's society. Information professionals, such as librarians, must adapt to new technologies and challenges, with statistics being an essential skill to understand and utilize data across various disciplines. Librarians can play a crucial role in data management, interpretation, and application, opening opportunities to become data librarians and research data management specialists. Beyond traditional libraries, information professionals can enrich interdisciplinary research, ensure data integrity, and foster a robust research ecosystem. Technology and statistics are key components of information literacy, as data represents an endless source of knowledge and opportunities in a digital world.
