“Data literacy is new to the world of libraries and its meaning is still open to negotiation. Although many have advocated for the education of a data-literate population, there is little consensus on what such educational programs should look like, particularly in the context of informal learning at the public library. The “Exploring Data Worlds at the Public Library” project will investigate youth data literacy in the context of technology-supported programs for young people at the public library. The project aims to increase awareness of the unique data literacy needs of youth as well as to develop strategies for training youth librarians so they can empower young people in our data-driven world. By addressing gaps in the capacity of libraries to support the public’s knowledge, skills, and practices surrounding data, the project will contribute to IMLS’s priority of building the social and technical infrastructure of libraries nationwide, and to the development of the National Digital Platform—the “combination of software applications, social and technical infrastructure, and staff expertise that provide library content and services to all users in the USA” (IMLS). This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services….”
