Presented by:
  • Sarah J. Wright, Cornell University
 

Description:
Graduate students working with research data need data management skills. This poster will discuss the development of a one-credit disciplinary course to teach these skills, which are often learned by trial and error or passed on by peers. Top educational priorities identified and the teaching approaches, materials, and assessment strategies used will be shared. By sharing our experiences, both successes and failures, we hope to grow the community around this type of instruction.

Description:
Statistics are necessary to measure the usage of acquired materials. However, visualizing those statistics is often difficult due to daunting amounts of raw data. A dashboard was created in order to compile and simplify usage statistics from library material that includes e-journals, databases, and e-books, as well as facts related to print periodicals. Using Google Sites as the home for the dashboard webpage, usage statistics are readily available to librarians from any location.
