More about the project
Visualizing the Future is an IMLS National Forum grant project to develop a literacy-based instructional and research agenda for library and information professionals with the aim to create a community of praxis focused on data visualization. As part of the National Forum, several fellows began working on building resources to support librarians in developing data visualization pedagogy. The Examples working group elected to develop a digital repository to host exemplary data visualizations and datasets for instructor use across a variety of contexts.
Note: We are actively developing this resource and anticipate a beta release in spring 2021. As we move forward, we'd love to hear from you! The best way to reach out with technical concerns is to lodge an issue on GitHub. You can also view our code in our repository.
