Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities and Data Librarians: Connections that Resonate

---

Abstract

Key themes in Dickens’ novel, transformation and resurrection, darkness and light, and social justice are firmly connected to the work being done in data. Data librarians can make a difference in times like these: resurrecting data, transforming how students, researchers, or the public think about and use data; unearthing and bringing to light historical data that will give context and meaning to an issue; and that accessible data can help address, and perhaps solve, social justice issues.

Keywords: social justice, data services, research data management, data librarianship
