dc.description.abstract | E-science has reshaped meteorology due to the rate data is generated,
collected, analyzed, and stored and brought data skills to a new prominence. Data information literacy—the skills needed to understand, use,
manage, share, work with, and produce data—reflects the confluence of
data skills with information literacy competencies. This research assessed
perceptions of data information literacy and attitudes on its instruction for
graduate students in meteorology. As academic librarians have traditionally
provided information literacy instruction, the research determined if they
were perceived as having a role in data information literacy instruction. The
modified Delphi method was applied to obtain the perspectives of a panel
of experts, representing students, librarians, professors, and researchers,
for the purpose of forecasting and consensus-making. Through the consid

ogy Section, the research found that data information literacy skills were
relevant to the work of meteorology students. Stakeholders perceived that
academic librarians could play a future role in general instruction but that
they would have to overcome obstacles to be involved in data information
literacy instruction. For librarians to enter this domain, they would need to
improve their technical skills, enhance their discipline-specific knowledge,
or rely on collaborations. The significance of these findings was limited by
the modest target population under examination; as a consequence, the
results were strongly linked to the specific setting. Further studies would
be necessary to determine their generalizabili | language |
