Please join us online Thursday, February 19, at 1:00 PM CDT for an ACRL EBSS (Education and Behavioral Sciences Section) Practical Sharing session on how to use data visualizations for information literacy and misinformation instruction. The session is titled “Practical Sharing: Data Visualization & Misinformation”.
Laura Beane, Data Services Librarian at Kennesaw State University, breaks down what data literacy is, why it matters in our field, and how to tell good info from bad stats. She will provide examples, tips and tricks for including data literacy into your information literacy classes, including how data visualizations can become tools of misinformation when used incorrectly. More information on Laura Beane’s background and research interests is available here.
Hosted by the EBSS Communication Studies Committee, the Practical Sharing webinar series is open to all. Each 45-minute session will present immediately useful and timely resources, tools and ideas for librarians in communication studies and beyond!
Registration in advance here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information on joining the webinar. This session will be recorded and posted to the ACRL YouTube channel.
If you have any questions or are interested in presenting news-we-can-use in a future session, please reach out to Kristin Peace, ACRL EBSS Communications Studies Committee Chair, at peace@oxy.edu.
