Library Trends (https://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/library-trends) is
pleased to announce a Call for Papers for an issue on data literacy—an
effort to empower library patrons to confidently identify, collect,
evaluate, analyze, interpret, present, and protect data(sets) they
encounter.

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. 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 (
https://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/library-trends). Prospective authors are
invited to submit an abstract outlining their proposed article (
https://bit.ly/LibTrends-DataLit) by December 16, 2024.

Inquiries about the planned issue and ideas for articles should be directed
to Ben Chiewphasa, Guest Editor ([log in to unmask]).
