Abstract

Broadly speaking, data literacy is the ability to locate, interpret, assess, and ethically use data in all its formats. Though data literacy has been a topic in the field for quite some time, more attention has developed over the past few years as data literacy becomes a necessary skill for researchers at all levels. As information types expand and exposure to all of this information continues to increase, students will benefit from learning data literacy skills to succeed in their studies and future professions. Libraries are widely revered as entities for teaching information literacy. Data literacy is relatively new for many teaching librarians who have needed to add it to their repertoire.
