[Rdap] ACRL DSS new discussion group: Data Information Literacy

[Ali Krzton]

I for one would hope we don't limit it to Americans...I've learned so much about data management from reading international materials, including some from Australia!

Hi Megan,
I'm a Data Librarian working for an organsation called ANDS - Australian National Data Service. We work with the research institutions and research communitiies in Australia, plus are represented internationallly via Research Data Alliance.

The Data Information Literacy Discussion Group soounds like a great move and something that would interest me and other librarians here in Australia. As a non-ACRL member (coming from Australia) I was wondering if this is a totally closed group or can interlopers such as myself also join. If the intent is to limit the list to American librarians (and fair enough), I was wondering if the group could also publish regular updates on discussion topics, recommendations, and actions from the group's discussions. Progress of the Ameircan-based group could also encourage the formation of local group, therefore it would be great to hear about how this shapes up as you go along.

Hope you don't mind me emailing you and I wish all the best with forming this community.

warmest regards
Kathryn

Hello.

Are you figuring out effective activities to teach data information literacy? Are you trying to integrate data literacy skills within existing courses? Are you creating curricula and stand-alone courses to teach data literacy? Are you teaching one-shots with data skills embedded into your lecture?  Are you completely befuddled as to how to do the above? If so, you have a new resource available to you.

The Digital Scholarship Section of ACRL is starting a new listserv, the Data Information Literacy Discussion Group. If you are interested in this topic and want to discuss it with like-minded people, this is the list for you!  Come discuss ideas, frustrations, triumphs and fails in a supportive online peer group.

To subscribe to this listserv, go to http://lists.ala.org/sympa/info/dss-dil_dg, enter your ACRL password, and click subscribe in the menu on the left hand side of the screen.

I will be the convener for the next couple of years. If you have any questions or concerns you can contact me at msn at purdue.edu<mailto:msn at purdue.edu>.

I look forward to improving data literacy instruction together!

Megan
