ICPSR presents #NoStupidQuestions, a video series that helps answer data questions you might be afraid to ask. What is the difference between data and statistics? What exactly is metadata? We'll answer these questions and more in short, easy to digest videos featuring ICPSR's unique blend of fun and learning.
Creating Data Literate Students
The Supporting Librarians in Adding Data Literacy Skills to Information Literacy Instruction project is a two-year project which ran from October 2015 through September 2017. Its aim was to develop data and statistical literacy skills in high school librarians to better support critical comprehension skills in their students. Here you'll find archived webinars, a blog, and contact information for the project investigators.
Scholarly Communication Toolkit: Research Data Management
This Research Guide by ACRL discusses research data management, and why academic libraries should engage with it. The Resources section is especially useful and includes sections on Data Literacy as well as information from the Building Your Research Data Management Toolkit: Integrating RDM (Research Data Management) into Your Liaison Work workshop.
Data-Driven Learning Guides from ICPSR
These guides can be used to enhance teaching of core concepts in the social sciences. In order to be useful to the widest audience, the focal topics are drawn from concepts that are included in standard introductory-level social science textbooks. New guides will continually be added and topic areas expanded. An Instructors Guide to DDLGs is also available.
Teaching Cultural Analysis of Datasets
On September 21st, 2023, Dr. Lindsay Poirier gave her talk “Teaching Cultural Analysis of Datasets” as the first workshop in the Data Advocacy for All Speaking Series.
