This report is an outcome of an program funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services called the “Data Science in Libraries Project”. The authors detail drivers of change, barriers to change, and recommendations. Libraries are well-positioned to provide resources and services for data science in general, and open data specifically. Library and University leaders need to provide support structures to facilitate librarians’ acquisition of new skills, while piloting data science services with partners and stakeholders on campus and beyond.
