“…Though originally developed for use in the health-care professions, it has been shown to be equally applicable in a variety of other fields. Recent research in the discipline of library and information science (LIS) has successfully used PRISMA guidelines to conduct systematic reviews of scientific literature ( Ashiq, Rehman, Safdar, et al, 2021 ; Ashiq & Warraich, 2022 ). Furthermore, we also used the PRISMA 2020 Checklist developed by Page et al (2021) to formulate the title of the study, objectives, methods, results, discussion, and other details (particularly focusing on search details, inclusion and exclusion criteria, synthesize of results, risk of bias, etc.).…”

“…The researchers picked the checklist developed by Boynton and Greenhalgh (2004) , since it was deemed relevant for this review. This checklist was also used by library and information science (LIS) researchers to assess the quality of their systematic review studies ( Ashiq, Rehman, Safdar, et al, 2021 ; Safdar et al, 2021 ). The checklist includes items relating to six different aspects of a study: questions and design, sampling, instrumentation, response rate, coding and analysis, and results presentation.…”

“…The drivers and motivational factors associated with data librarianship as an emerging paradigm have been reported in 11 studies (Table 3). There are various factors reported in these studies such as library value and visibility (Ashiq et al, 2021a; Cox et al, 2019; Huang et al, 2021; Tenopir et al, 2017), funder mandate (Ashiq et al, 2021b; Bresnahan and Johnson, 2013; Brown et al, 2015), learning and enjoying element (Faniel and Connaway, 2018), job responsibility (Tenopir et al, 2013), and support open access (Chawinga and Zinn, 2020; Si et al, 2015).

Data librarianship is becoming more common as a means of developing and integrating data-driven library services. Consequently, the academic and research libraries’ traditional role in providing information support and training has been expanded to include support in all aspects of the research lifecycle. Hence, this study systematically reviews the data librarianship literature focusing on current data librarianship services, challenges, skills, and motivational factors. A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search strategy was formulated to extract maximum relevant results. The bibliographic data were retrieved from the Scopus, Web of Science, Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA), and Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA). Finally, 27 studies that fulfill the criteria were included in this study. The findings revealed that two main factors that contribute to the success or failure in this emerging data librarianship roles are skills, knowledge, and expertise; and limited support and advocacy from library leadership and higher authorities. One is on the part of library professionals who can develop the required skills, knowledge, and expertise and the other is on the part of library leadership. The library professionals are hesitant to embrace this new role due to non-additional benefits, no relevant job description, and lacking leadership support. Overall, the findings revealed that the data librarianship scope is dynamic and has been expanded, albeit the progress is slow. The theoretical, practical, policy, and social implications described that the data librarianship services tend to be improved, and the relevant skills, knowledge, and expertise should be developed. The policy initiatives need to be taken, improved, and expanded to advance technical services related to data librarianship.

In the library, for example, there are autonomous shelf reading robots, virtual reality, Virtual agents, and intelligent robots for reference services and circulation record maintenance [36]. The librarian can control the robot with the remote or technologies of artificial intelligence and virtual reality.…”
