O bibliotecário como gestor de dados na era do Big Data

Abstract

This article investigates the evolution of the role of librarians in the Big Data era, analyzing how

technological transformations have impacted data management and curation. The aim of the re- search is to understand the changes in librarians' competencies and responsibilities in response to

the challenges posed by the large volume of data in the information society. A qualitative appro- ach was used, based on a literature review and document analysis. The study examines the emer- gence of the information society and current issues related to the storage, organization, and access

to large volumes of data. The results highlight the need for librarians to adapt to the new demands of contemporary society, including skills in information techno-logy, digital curation, and data analysis. It is concluded that, in this dynamic scenario, librari-ans play a strategic role in the mediation and efficient use of information, reinforcing their importance in the digital age.
