Leveraging Critical Information Literacy To Develop Social Justice-Minded Data Literacy Competencies, Ben B. Chiewphasa, Matthew L. Sisk

Journal of Critical Digital Librarianship

Librarians who interact with data in different contexts can come together in a community of practice – leveraging each other's perspectives to collectively engage with critical librarianship and reimagine social justice-related learning outcomes for information and data literacy programming. Specifically, this paper explores the overlapping goals of different critical literacies (such as critical information literacy and QuantCrit), showcasing that synergies exist between social justice-oriented librarians with distinctive roles and responsibilities. By leveraging a community of practice as a vehicle for continuing education in inclusive pedagogy, librarians can empower their patrons, students, and colleagues to challenge and act upon surrounding data …

Whose Responsibility Is It Anyway?, Kristine N. Stewart, Judith Mavodza

Reproducibility Librarianship, Vicky Steeves

Collaborative Librarianship

Over the past few years, research reproducibility has been increasingly highlighted as a multifaceted challenge across many disciplines. There are socio-cultural obstacles as well as a constantly changing technical landscape that make replicating and reproducing research extremely difficult. Researchers face challenges in reproducing research across different operating systems and different versions of software, to name just a few of the many technical barriers. The prioritization of citation counts and journal prestige has undermined incentives to make research reproducible.

While libraries have been building support around research data management and digital scholarship, reproducibility is an emerging area that has yet to …

Web Resources From Mdls 15, Kristin Briney

Midwest Data Librarian Symposium

The symposium wrap up was facilitated by Jamene Brooks-Kieffer (Kansas), who recapped each session and the overall themes of the event. She utilized a garden metaphor to explain that all data services exist in different landscapes and that not every idea will transplant into every library/garden. Brooks-Kieffer then directed participants through a free-writing exercise about taking one idea to transplant to their libaries, ending with participants partnering up to help each other be accountable to transplanting this symposium idea after the event. This is a list of some of the web resources mentioned during the wrap up session.
