Visualizing the Future
Visualizing the Future is an IMLS National Forum Grant 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.
This grant aims to create a diverse community that will advance data visualization instruction and use beyond hands-on, technology-based tutorials toward a nuanced, critical understanding of visualization as a research product and form of expression. As part of this grant we are seeking applications for a cohort of fellows to: carry out research related to visualization, attend two in-person meetings over the next two years, and help in the development and dissemination of a framework for data visualization support in libraries and related institutions.

February Viz and Tell on visualization tools and software!
29 Jan 2021This Viz and Tell will be a guided discussion about the tools and software that we use for visualization. As we all know from experience, tools and software are part of our daily work and the choices that we make in terms of which ones we teach, and how we teach with them, are critical to our communities. We will discuss why we choose to use certain tools/software and how we teach with them from a more critical and meta perspective.
