http:\/\/www.iolug.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IOLUG-logo.png]<https:\/\/box516.bluehost.com:2096\/cpsess9707588396\/horde\/imp\/www.iolug.org<\/a>><\/p>\nLibraries 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.<\/p>\n
The Conference Planning Committee is seeking proposals on topics related to data in libraries, including but not limited to:<\/p>\n
*\u00a0\u00a0 Using tools\/resources to find and leverage data to solve problems and expand knowledge,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Data policies and procedures,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Harvesting, organizing, and presenting data,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Data-driven decision making,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Learning analytics,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Metadata\/linked data,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Data in collection development,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Using data to measure outcomes, not just uses,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Using data to better reach and serve your communities,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Libraries as data collectors,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Big data in libraries,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Privacy,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Social justice\/Community Engagement,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Algorithms,
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Storytelling, and
\n*\u00a0\u00a0 Libraries as positive stewards of user data.<\/p>\n
The Conference Planning Committee encourages presentations that are practical, hands-on, and include take-awayable tools, techniques, and\/or strategies that librarians, library staff, and information professionals can implement to improve their resources and services for patrons, students, faculty, etc.<\/p>\n
We are especially interested in hearing from presenters who would like to lead a longer workshop around the conference theme. Workshops could cover multiple session times and have use of the on-site computer lab, if desired.<\/p>\n
Presentations will be reviewed and selected by the Conference Planning Committee.<\/p>\n
