Data Information Specialists Committee
Publié le 22 août 2011 par Thérèse Hameau
Data Information Specialists Committee – United Kingdom is a forum for data professionals working in UK Higher Education who specialise in supporting their institution’s staff and students in the use of numeric and geo-spatial data. They met for the first time at the London School of Economics in February 2004.
The aims of DISC-UK are as follows:
- Foster understanding between data users and providers
- Raise awareness of the value of data support in Universities
- Share information and resources among local data support staff
The founding members – five data professionals from Oxford, Edinburgh, and LSE – invite others performing similar roles in their universities to join, though they may not work in dedicated data libraries.
