# Welcome!

The [LIBER Data Science in Libraries (DSLib) working group](https://libereurope.eu/working-group/liber-data-science-in-libraries-working-group/) explores and promotes library engagement in applying data science and analytical methods in libraries.

This is our [HackMD](https://hackmd.io) 'book' which we'll be trying out for collaborative note-taking. Only invitees can make changes to the book, but everyone on the web should be able to _view_ the content and leave _comments_.

Feel free to take a look around and leave us some feedback, if you have any!
