NTKN Communities of Practice: Library Advocacy

This is the homepage for the NTKN Community of Practice for data curation efforts and data librarians.
To learn more about Transportation Library Advocacy, please see the Transportation Library Advocacy LibGuide.

For upcoming meetings, see the NTKN calendar.

Libraries are vital for preserving the domain of transportation knowledge. Library professionals utilize their intellectual capital in ways that positively impact all aspects of knowledge management, knowledge service, and knowledge culture. (See "Understanding Modern Transportation Libraries.")

However, transportation libraries are closing at an alarming rate. This community of practice is dedicated to ensuring that the value and contributions of libraries and library professionals are thoroughly understood and widely communicated within the transportation-research community.
