The RUSA MARS Hot Topics in Electronic Reference Discussion Group presents:

 

Big Data at the Desk: Data visualization and research for the rest of us!

 

Librarians loved the Information Age, but the MLS didn't necessarily prepare us to crunch
numbers, draw conclusions, and create infographics. The era of "Big Data" has arrived!
Information literacy incorporates data literacy and even generalist librarians need to be able to
handle data-driven reference questions.

 

Are you seeking an opportunity to present at ALA? Do you know how to help patrons discover,
collect, interpret, and/or present data sets? What simple techniques and tools would help your
colleagues get started with data research or data visualization? Help your fellow librarians break
into the world of data by sharing your expertise in Chicago!

 

Presentations will be in an informal panel format and are intended to jumpstart discussion among
the attendees. The program will be held Sunday, June 30th, 2013 from 4:30 to 5:30PM at the
ALA Annual conference in Chicago, IL (room and exact location TBD). If you are interested in
serving as a panelist, please contact Beth Overhauser (overhaue@ipfw.edu) with a short (<300
words) summary or proposal by May 17th, 2013.  The committee will notify all potential speakers
by May 22nd.  We expect to accommodate 2-3 speakers with 15 minutes each.

 

LITA Mobile Computing Interest Group Meeting - Call for Participation at ALA Annual Conference

When:  Monday, July 1st, 2013 - 3 - 4pm
Where:  Palmer House Hilton, Chicago Room

The LITA Mobile Computing IG seeks 4-5 short presentations (approximately 15 minutes) on mobile computing for the upcoming ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, IL.

The LITA Mobile IG is also seeking suggestions for discussion topics.  Things you'd like to hear more about, projects you're working on, plan to work on, or want to work on in terms of mobile computing. 
All suggestions and presentation topics are welcome and will be given consideration for presentation and discussion.

Please email your presentation topics to the one of the Co-chairs of the LITA Mobile Computing Interest Group, Evviva Weinraub or Kevin Lau.

We are accepting suggestions through May 31st.

We want to bring together a bunch of people (including librarians, learning developers, learning technologists and more) next year for a two day conference of inspiring each other to innovate and be more creative in libraries. There will be talks, workshops, fun and games galore. We'll talk to each other about successes and challenges, thinking about how we can use what we learn from one another to improve libraries.

 

The call for papers (http://i2c2conference.org/)  is open until 25^th October 2013 and we're looking for a limited number of talks, workshops and creative interventions that fit within the conference themes.

 

The overarching themes are those of innovation and creativity in information work, split into three strands: Space; People; Resources.

 

Regards,

 

Andrew
