Data Radicals - A podcast by Alation

Categories:

Librarians have played a crucial role in the management of data throughout history. From the halls of the Library of Alexandria to the Library of Congress all the way to your elementary school: librarians have been the guardians of our knowledge for thousands of years. But now that we’re in the digital age…has that role shifted? That’s what we’re exploring today. Deb Seys, Senior Director of Learning and Communities at Alation, is a passionate librarian who has made the jump from the dewey decimal system to the data catalogue. She shares with us how data is the most powerful tool in a librarian’s arsenal, how data can better your user experience, the steps to finding the best answers for any question, and much more.
