This project captures a snapshot of the work librarians providing Research Data Services (RDS) to health sciences graduate students are doing. Information about career preparation paths, work environments, services offered, and specific populations being served are of interest to members of the data librarian community. This research project utilized an anonymous survey of data librarians about a number of components of their work and areas of expertise.
