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.
As our projects start to go public, we are excited about building and maintaining active connections to the broad community of individuals teaching and using visualization in libraries. Our first live, virtual update is coming up on September 22 at 1pm Eastern time (10am Pacific, 5pm UTC).
Our call for participants is now closed. We are so excited by the response from the community. Now comes time for the difficult job of selecting our group of fellows. Thank you to everyone for the hard work and passion you put into your proposals!
Our call for participants is currently open. Please apply and share.
