Abstract

Over the past decade, more than thirty books have been published which seek to provide data management foundational and continuing education materials for an academic librarian audience. This annotated bibliography centrally collects and reviews these titles, providing not only a quantitative overview of publisher, price, and availability but also a topical overview for each book and a brief critical summary. Concluding with recommendations for the most useful titles for targeted audiences, the authors address trends, gaps, and limitations of the present corpus.
