  • 1.  FINAL REMINDER: Library Trends CFP - Issue on Data Literacy - Deadline Mon., Dec. 16

    Posted Dec 13, 2024 10:30 AM

    Hi, GODORT friends!

    FINAL REMINDER re: the Monday, December 16, 2024 deadline to submit article proposals for a Library Trends issue on data literacy.

    This issue will explore current research and practice in data literacy in order to understand the field's evolution and future directions. The journal welcomes articles on both the theoretical and practical aspects of data literacy in libraries. Proposals that tackle government data perspectives would be a welcome addition! Other potential topics include (but are not limited to):

    • Data literacy's relationship to other literacies (i.e., AI and algorithmic literacy, information literacy, media literacy)
    • Critical aspects of data literacy such as data justice and feminism
    • Data literacy competencies across different library types and/or audiences
    • Pedagogical approaches for data literacy instruction
    • Data literacy initiatives in various types of libraries, including academic, public, and special libraries
    • Data literacy in community engagement projects
    • Trends/insights in data literacy concerning micro-credentialing and digital badging managed by libraries
    • Data literacy in relation to the "Collections as Data" movement

    The complete Call for Papers, including a timeline for publication, is available on the Library Trends website. Prospective authors are invited to submit an abstract outlining their proposed article by December 16, 2024.

    Inquiries about the planned issue and ideas for articles should be directed to me (Ben Chiewphasa, Guest Editor; bbc2129@columbia.edu).
