Hello Code4Lib, We are excited to share our call for participants for Visualizing the Future, an IMLS National Forum Grant to develop a literacy-based instructional and research agenda for library and information professionals with the aim to create a community of praxis focused on data visualization. This grant aims to create a diverse community that will advance data visualization instruction and use beyond hands-on, technology-based tutorials toward a nuanced, critical understanding of visualization as a research product and form of expression. As part of this grant we are seeking applications for a cohort of fellows to: carry out research related to visualization, attend two in-person meetings over the next two years, and help in the development and dissemination of a framework for data visualization support in libraries and related institutions. CFP Link: https://visualizingthefuture.github.io/call/ Due date: January 31st, 2019 Questions: [log in to unmask] Applications are open to both US and non-US residents. Only restriction is that the research must ultimately benefit the US Library community in some way. Please apply and share with your communities!
