ALCTS webinar: Communicating Impact Using Data Visualization

Date: Wednesday, May 8, 2019

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 AM Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 PM Central, and 2 PM Eastern time.

This is part 5 of the five-part series Research and Publication Basics. See this webpage for more information about the webinars in this series.

 

Description: You’ve collected all your data, analyzed the results, and are ready to present it to the world--but how? Data visualization offers a wide variety of options, but choosing the best method for relaying your findings is tricky. Differences in audiences and applications can be difficult to understand or navigate. This webinar will demonstrate principles and tools to help technical services units and staff communicate their work and research. It will include discussions of how audience drives the narratives we use, what data points are effective for particular stakeholders, and what tools can help best visualize those data points.

Learning outcomes:

1. Participants will be able to identify tools to visualize data

2. Participants will learn strategies for assessing the communication needs of different stakeholders

3. Participants will learn to use tools and strategies to develop more effective communication strategies to demonstrate their impact and value.

Who should attend?

The series is geared toward librarians in technical services who want to do research but don't know where to start.

Presenter:

Liz Woolcott, Head of Cataloging and Metadata Services at Utah State University, manages the MARC and non-MARC metadata creation of the University Libraries and is the co-founder of the Library Workflow Exchange. She publishes and presents on workflow and assessment strategies for library technical services, the impact of organizational structures on library work, and measuring impact for digital content reuse
