- Competencies and Responsibilities of Social Science Data Librarians: An Analysis of Job Descriptions Xia, Jingfeng Wang, Minglu Librarians Social Sciences Data Competence Responsibility Occupational Information Job Analysis Academic Libraries Employment Qualifications Library Personnel This study examines job announcements for social science data librarians and professionals to identify trends in the profession. A collection of 167 job postings in 2005-2012 from the International Association for Social Science Information Services & Technology website was analyzed on the frequencies of term occurrence and co-occurrence in job qualifications and responsibilities. The study verifies that employers valued non-technical skills as heavily as technical skills, and detects dissimilar emphases of data activities for data librarians and non-librarian professionals: the former on data discovery and collection, and the latter on data analysis and preservation. An increasing requirement of data management planning was also found for data librarians.
