Visualizing the Future is 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, which has provided funding for meetings for 13 fellows and 3 co-investigators, 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. Tune in to learn about: The goals of the grant Grant activities and projects, like our resources for new visualization librarians and our instruction modules in progress Upcoming opportunities to join together as a community interested in visualization in libraries We will plan to leave extensive time for public q&a and discussion. We really want to know what the broader community is thinking and doing around data visualization in libraries.
