 Effective Management of Big Data and Research Data within Academic Libraries Workshop

​Are you concerned about Big Data? Are you unsure about how to manage, organize and store your Research Data safely?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, you are not alone. Everyone is agreed that Big Data is a vital issue today, but many organizations are still confused about what it is and what they are supposed to do with it. 

A study conducted by Jaspersoft found that 25% of respondents had no clear understanding of what constitutes “Big Data.” 

The challenge for leaders and decision makers in academic institutions today is to learn how to harness Big Data to improve management, better manage research data, improve customer service, anticipate customers’ needs and generate more leads. 

In collaboration with the Special Libraries Association – Arabian Gulf Chapter (SLA/AGC), Naseej Academy will conduct a workshop entitled “Effective Management of Big Data and Research Data within Academic Libraries” as part of the 24th Annual Conference & Exhibition of the SLA/AGC, to be held on March 4–5, 2018, in Grand Millennium Muscat, Oman.

Participants in the workshop will be enabled to use Big Data and Research Data more effectively. Specifically, they will learn how to develop strategies for their library or information center related to Big Data, assess whether Big Data methodologies can be implemented in library services, select tools and technologies for creating Big Data repositories, and perform analysis to extract trends and inform operational decision making.

The workshop’s combination of visual presentations, case studies and practical exercises will help to improve participants’ knowledge and skills. It will equip them with tools and techniques for evaluating the possibility of using Big Data, methodologies and Research Data to provide effective library services and to build Big Data repositories that support decision making.

Who Should Attend?
The workshop will be of specific interest to middle-level staff of academic libraries (including librarians, system librarians, and staff responsible for technical and technological tasks).
