SXSW Interactive 2015 - Big Data Startups Should Hire Librarians - 15_0316

Big data startups should hire librarians according to the document. Librarians have skills that are valuable for big data startups such as data management, project management, standards, marketing, and community management. However, librarians are not always good at describing their skills to non-librarians, so people do not think to look to librarians for the skills they have. The document argues that librarians could be valuable early stage hires for big data startups.
