Tackling Data in Libraries: Opportunities and Challenges in Serving User Communities
Libraries and librarians work with data every day, with a variety of applications – circulation, gate counts, reference questions, and so on. The mass collection of user data has made headlines many times in the past few years. Analytics and privacy have, understandably, become important issues both globally and locally. In addition to being aware of the data ecosystem in which we work, libraries can play a pivotal role in educating user communities about data and all of its implications, both favorable and unfavorable.

Session topics include:

  • Data literacy and data science education
  • Librarians as community liaisons and data stewards
  • Data-driven assessment models in serials subscriptions
  • Evaluating point of need instruction services
  • Using data for service development and library advocacy

Jerica Copeny’s keynote address, Past, Present, Future of Trailblazing with Data for Social Change, will explore using data as a tool for social change.
