Webinar: Data Literacy

Wednesday, March 25, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

This issue begins with a question: "How have libraries critically and effectively integrated data literacy perspectives into their instruction-based responsibilities and roles?" Please join Library Trends for a thoughtful discussion on how the intersection of technology and reality is reshaping the roles of librarians in education.

The guest editors and authors of select articles from 74 (3), "Data Literacy: Navigating the Shift from Hype to Reality" will be presenting their research.

We are pleased to offer open access to this issue.

Speakers

Following the presentations, audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions and take part in a discussion with the speakers.
