(mul9ple literacies)
An applied prac9ce
• Universally applicable
(func9onal literacy)

A learning process
• Ac9ve and broadly-based
• Individuals making sense

(construc9vist learning)

(cri9cal reflec9on)

(UNESCO 2005)
LIS Concep9ons of Data Literacy
• Variously presented as an integral part, component/
subset, offshoot, or complement to informa9on literacy
• Emerged from social science dataset community, added
qualita9ve elements to sta9s9cal/quan9ta9ve literacy
• Expanded defini9ons for e-science/research (SDL, DIL),
emphasized metadata and cura9on for producer role
• Current work in school and public libraries promo9ng a
lifewide view of youth data literacy and personal DM
• Other projects exploring data literacy for open civic/
government data in public and academic libraries
• A few cross-sector ac9vi9es (e.g., academic-school/
public/business), but mostly sector-/context-specific
• Some awareness of need to support learner transi9ons
from school through higher ed. to work and ci9zenship

Sample Defini9ons of Data Literacy
Journalism
“the ability to consume for knowledge, produce
coherently and think cri9cally about data. Data literacy
includes sta9s9cal literacy but also understanding how
to work with large data sets, how they were produced,
how to connect various data sets and how to interpret
them” (Gray, Bounegru and Chambers, 2012, 148)
Business
“the ability to read, write and communicate data in
context, including an understanding of data sources
and constructs, analy9cal methods and techniques
applied, and the ability to describe the use case, the
applica9on and resul9ng value” (Gartner 2018)

How Should Libraries
Respond to the
Data Literacy Challenge?
Social Jus9ce, Community Engagement
and Informa9on Ins9tu9ons
“informa9on literacy and data literacy form part of a
con9nuum, a gradual process of scien9fic-inves9ga9ve
educa9on that begins in school, is perfected and
becomes specialized in higher educa9on and forms part
of individuals’ skill set throughout their life9me”
(Prado and Marzal 2013, 126)
Libraries as Community Datamediaries
From an intellectual capital perspec9ve, libraries have the
educa9onal know-how (human capital), organiza9onal and
technological infrastructure (structural capital),
professional networks and community engagement
(rela9onal capital) to play a leadership role in data literacy.
By partnering across tradi9onal sectoral boundaries, and
building on successful innova9ons in informa9on literacy,
they can engage in collabora9ve learning-by-doing and
reach beyond their current capability for social benefit.
Transferable prac9ces include LibGuides, online tutorials,
MOOCs, cross-sector instruc9onal partnerships, and
naviga9ng informa9on literacy via mul9life perspec9ves
+ UNESCO primer + UNESCO declara9on…

  • 9. LIS Concep9ons of Data Literacy • Variously presented as an integral part, component/ subset, offshoot, or complement to informa9on literacy • Emerged from social science dataset community, added qualita9ve elements to sta9s9cal/quan9ta9ve literacy • Expanded defini9ons for e-science/research (SDL, DIL), emphasized metadata and cura9on for producer role • Current work in school and public libraries promo9ng a lifewide view of youth data literacy and personal DM • Other projects exploring data literacy for open civic/ government data in public and academic libraries • A few cross-sector ac9vi9es (e.g., academic-school/ public/business), but mostly sector-/context-specific • Some awareness of need to support learner transi9ons from school through higher ed. to work and ci9zenship

  • 11. Sample Defini9ons of Data Literacy Journalism “the ability to consume for knowledge, produce coherently and think cri9cally about data. Data literacy includes sta9s9cal literacy but also understanding how to work with large data sets, how they were produced, how to connect various data sets and how to interpret them” (Gray, Bounegru and Chambers, 2012, 148) Business “the ability to read, write and communicate data in context, including an understanding of data sources and constructs, analy9cal methods and techniques applied, and the ability to describe the use case, the applica9on and resul9ng value” (Gartner 2018)

  • 14. How Should Libraries Respond to the Data Literacy Challenge? Social Jus9ce, Community Engagement and Informa9on Ins9tu9ons “informa9on literacy and data literacy form part of a con9nuum, a gradual process of scien9fic-inves9ga9ve educa9on that begins in school, is perfected and becomes specialized in higher educa9on and forms part of individuals’ skill set throughout their life9me” (Prado and Marzal 2013, 126)
  • 15. Libraries as Community Datamediaries From an intellectual capital perspec9ve, libraries have the educa9onal know-how (human capital), organiza9onal and technological infrastructure (structural capital), professional networks and community engagement (rela9onal capital) to play a leadership role in data literacy. By partnering across tradi9onal sectoral boundaries, and building on successful innova9ons in informa9on literacy, they can engage in collabora9ve learning-by-doing and reach beyond their current capability for social benefit. Transferable prac9ces include LibGuides, online tutorials, MOOCs, cross-sector instruc9onal partnerships, and naviga9ng informa9on literacy via mul9life perspec9ves + UNESCO primer + UNESCO declara9on…
