Hi Angie,

We have a Numeric Data Librarian here at SU. He is responsible for
acquiring and using statistical data sets and helping patron, faculty,
students, etc. with number crunching and formatting data with SPSS,
Stata, etc. So I would guess these new positions may have these types of
duties focusing or combined with geospatial data.

The challenge is not finding the sources you need
but choosing the relevant ones.

Anyone want to talk about the word "Numeric" used in 2 recent job
announcements? What, exactly, does that mean? All I can think of is the
alternatives - visual, textual - Or opposites being: connotative or
qualitative.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Angie
