Librarians are information experts, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to a thorough grounding in the interpretation and use of data. So what does data literacy mean for librarians? In this webinar, we’ll be exploring what data literacy looks like and how a solid grasp of the basics can help guide better decision making in the library and beyond. Join us as we:
Build an understanding of what data literacy may mean in K-12 and postsecondary educational contexts
- Get a taste of what is involved in applying data literacy skill
- Discuss implications for the roles librarians can play in supporting data literacy within their communities
