Comments
Data visualization is essential to all research across all fields as it allows for the dissemination of valuable information in a form that can be understood by audiences of many levels. These principles and skills are not typically formally addressed in coursework for most academic fields. A reference librarian who can support research and communication through teaching, guidance, and collaboration benefits the entire UAB community. The ultimate goals of this professional development project are (1) to obtain certification in data analytics and visualization related to a range of topics, (2) to create and offer a series of regularly scheduled workshops in data visualization, and (3) to create instructional materials that can be accessed asynchronously. This poster is the capstone of the 2024-2025 Faculty Development Grant awarded to Ashley S. McGuire to support her development in data analytics and visualization. This was presented at a FDGP poster event at the Alys Stephens center on April 18, 2025.
