POST: So you want to be a Data Visualization Librarian? 9

11 Jun 2015  | dh+lib review · Post

The latest “So What Do You Do?” feature from Hack Library School consists of interviews with four data visualization professionals in different roles at the University of Michigan: Marci Brandenburg, Justin Joque, Stephanie O’Malley, and Ted Hall.

The contributors detail what drew them to work in data visualization, document their day-to-day practice, and provide advice for those interested in entering this emerging field of librarianship. The piece provides both LIS students and professional librarians  with an overview of the necessary skills and offers advice on steps one might take to prepare for work in data visualization.
