## Module 9: Scientific Research Team ## This module will showcase a project where researchers and a librarian worked together to find a way to uniquely identify data. The video testimonials from the different perspectives will demonstrate new professional skills both researchers and librarians can develop through working together. ### Learning Objectives ### 1. Describe a project where researchers and a librarian worked together to find a way to uniquely identify data 2. Understand how librarian skills used in the past to identify and catalog publications can be easily transferred to doing the same for data objects and collections of data objects 3. Recognize the potential of partnerships between librarians and researchers 4. Identify different roles librarians may play with research teams 5.
