Dear colleagues,

We are proud to present the next session of the 2016 webinar series “New
Librarians Global Connection: best practices, models and recommendations
<https://npsig.wordpress.com/webinars-2/>”.

For the fifth consecutive year, IFLA Continuing Professional Development
and Workplace Learning and IFLA New Professionals Special Interest Group
are partnering with the American Library Association to present a series of
free quarterly webinars on issues of interest to new librarians, library
associations and library schools, library-decision makers, and all library
workers. The webinars are a great opportunity for membership participation
via a worldwide online programming.

The topic of the next webinar will be “Big Data: new roles and
opportunities for new librarians”. There is constant buzz about data
science, data management, data analysis, data visualizations. How are
librarians taking advantage of their skills and learning new ones for this
new challenge? How are #newlibrarians becoming #datalibrarians, or even
#datascientists? what Davenport (2012) has called: “The Sexiest Job of the
21st Century
<https://hbr.org/2012/10/data-scientist-the-sexiest-job-of-the-21st-century/>“?
What is the edge for the new generation of librarians in the big data world?

Below, the date and time of the next webinar. Save the date!
