Two Librarians Discuss Their Experiences with the DSCPE Capstone Program
portal: Libraries and the Academy, v25 n2 p223-230 2025
Data librarianship is a relatively new field that covers activities from teaching research data management skills and data science areas such as coding or cleaning data, to curating and archiving datasets. The Data Services Continuing Professional Education (DSCPE) program has stepped in to fill the critical education gap for data librarians. It is a ten-week, virtual, intensive learning experience that enables early- and mid-career librarians to gain skills in data services. This program was created to provide professional development for working librarians in a timely, affordable way. It includes the online learning modules from the Research Data Management Librarian Academy (RDMLA), synchronous sessions with content experts, a cohort of students, and a capstone project with a mentor.
