With a mass digitisation programme underway and the addition of non-print legal deposit and web archive collections, the National Library of Scotland is now both producing and collecting data at an unprecedented rate, with over 5PB of storage in the Library’s data centres. As well as the opportunities to support large scale analysis of the collections, this also presents new challenges around data management, storage, rights, formats, skills and access. Furthermore, by assuming the role of both creators and collectors, libraries face broader questions about the concepts of ‘collections' and ‘heritage', and the ethical implications of collecting practices. While the ‘collections as data’ movement has encouraged cultural heritage organisations to present collections in machine-readable formats, new services, processes and tools also need to be established to enable these emerging forms of research, and new modes of working need to be established to take into account an increasing need for transparency around the creation and presentation of digital collections. This commentary explores the National Library of Scotland's new digital scholarship service, the implications of this new activity and the obstacles that libraries encounter when navigating a world of Big Data.

颠覆图书馆：苏格兰国家图书馆的数字学术和大数据

随着大规模数字化计划的进行以及非印刷法定缴存和网络档案馆藏的增加，苏格兰国家图书馆现在以前所未有的速度生产和收集数据，图书馆数据中心的存储容量超过 5PB。除了支持对馆藏进行大规模分析的机会外，这也带来了围绕数据管理、存储、权利、格式、技能和访问的新挑战。此外，通过承担创作者和收藏者的角色，图书馆面临着更广泛的关于“收藏”和“遗产”概念的问题，以及收藏实践的伦理影响。虽然“收藏即数据”运动鼓励文化遗产组织以机器可读的格式展示收藏，但新服务、还需要建立流程和工具来支持这些新兴的研究形式，需要建立新的工作模式，以考虑到对数字馆藏创建和展示的透明度日益增长的需求。这篇评论探讨了苏格兰国家图书馆新的数字奖学金服务、这项新活动的影响以及图书馆在导航大数据世界时遇到的障碍。
