Abstract

“Big data” is a term that has been recently appearing in the literature of academic librarianship. However, as a hospital librarian, may I consider this justification enough to explore its applicability to my current position? The definition of big data is multi-faceted and covered elsewhere, and I will refer readers on (Gandomi & Haider, 2015). Here I simply seek to understand my potential role in this field.
