Greetings! I am Jiebei Luo, a PhD student at Simmons University’s School of Library and Information Science. I also work as a Financial & Economic Data Analysis Librarian at New York University Division of Libraries. Together with Professor Rong Tang, we are conducting a research study entitled “*Data Competency for Academic Librarians*.” This study focuses on academic librarians in the United States and Canada. The study aims to better understand the data-related knowledge and skills needed in academic librarians’ daily work and collect their perspectives on the data literacy education that current MLIS programs should provide. If you are an academic librarian working in the US or Canada, we invite you to fill out a survey. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Your opinions are extremely valuable and can help shape data literacy education for future generations of academic librarians. We appreciate your and your librarian team’s participation in this study. We would also greatly appreciate it if you could complete the survey by *August 31, 2022.* If you have any questions about this study, please feel free to reach out to us at l...@simmons.edu or rong.t...@simmons.edu). Thank you again for your help and contribution to this research study! >> Survey on Data Competency for Academic Librarians <https://nyu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0f8IT70zXBTKmlo> Best, Jiebei -- Jiebei Luo She/Her Financial & Economic Data Analysis Librarian New York University Email: jiebei....@nyu.edu ORCID: 0000-0001-9823-585X <https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9823-585X>
