The Data Science and Visualization Institute for Librarians is a week-long
course providing the opportunity for librarians passionate about research
and scholarship to immerse themselves in learning about data science and
visualization in collaboration with academic peers. Participants will
develop knowledge, skills, and confidence to communicate effectively with
faculty and student researchers about their data and be able to provide
initial consultancy on the course topics. Led by expert instructors,
sessions will be interactive and will focus on mastery of core concepts,
with hands-on exposure to select open source and highly used commercial
tools. Sharing of practices and experiences across institutions will be
encouraged.

A final schedule will be available in December, including topics such as:


   -

   Data Exploration and Analysis

   Data Visualization
   -

   Data Cleaning and Preparation

   Web Scraping
