Data Storm!
Bridging Divides, Navigating Data, and Harnessing Change for Good
Librarians in all library types know how patrons and users are awash in a flood of data and data science software. Within the library, collection statistics, usage reports, focus groups, surveys, and so much more demand our eyes, minds, and time as we chart out new services and plans. Outside of the library, our communities are discovering and participating in a new world of big data and data analytics. How do libraries take the lead in managing data resources, tools, and skills? What can we do to better harness the information at our fingertips and transform it into a better environment for our communities and our patrons?
Join us in Nashville at the Tenn-Share Fall Conference on October 18 to find and share ways to weather the data storm and make data work for libraries across the state.
There will be two presentation formats available: Full Presentations (45 minutes) and “10-for-Tenn” presentations, which are 10-minutes-or-less presentations, ideal for introducing a new strategy, concept or resource.
We invite entries from all library types, departmental roles and professional experience.
The deadline for proposal submissions has been extended to August 15.
Submit proposals at this link.
More information about Tenn-Share is available on their website.
