Abstract
The skills required to work in data science are not dissimilar to those required of information professionals. Are librarians being replaced by data scientists? Or, are librarians actually working as data scientists? Is it possible for the two to work side-by-side in complementary and mutually beneficial roles? Amy Affelt investigates.
