Learning to swim in a sea of data : data literacy for librarians and their communities

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:

• 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
