LLAMA MAES is soliciting proposals
for presenters to participate in the ALA Annual program, "Let the data
talk: Communicating assessment results to stakeholders."
Mark H. Hansen, Professor of
Statistics, UCLA, (http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~cocteau/)
will provide an overview and discuss the importance and impact of data
visualization to communicate a compelling message.
Following his keynote, presenters
will discuss how they have effectively used data visualization to tell the
library's story to various stakeholders. Presentations should be 8-10 minutes.
Please address the following
questions in a proposal narrative of no longer than 250 words.
- Who was your audience?
- Why did you choose the specific data visualization tool?
- How was the data visualization implemented?
- What were the results and how were they evaluated?
- Would you recommend this tool to other libraries?
Presentations will be judged on how
well they demonstrate visualizations and how they can be used effectively
across various institutions. Please provide examples of the visualization or
links to your visualization project in the proposal.
Deadline for proposals is March 15,
2012. Proposals should be submitted
electronically to Marianne Ryan, Associate University Librarian for Public
Services, Northwestern University, at marianne-ryan@northwestern.edu
