Abstract
Data lakes offer an emerging option for librarians who are seeking to develop data repositories for institutions of higher education. Data lakes provide flexible, secure environments for students and faculty to compute with licensed data. This paper presents a high-level overview of the data lake architecture, highlighting its differences from traditional data warehousing solutions. The paper also touches on the staff expertise required to create successful data lakes in academic libraries.
