Item Analyzing data consultations: What liaisons can learn about users' data needs and use of tools(2017) Gao, Wenli; Ke, Irene; Martin, LisaAs data services gain momentum in academic libraries, liaison librarians are expected to be part of the education force for data literacy. Nonetheless, due to the broad scope of data literacy, training librarians to improve data-related skills can be challenging. This article used consultation statistics to identify tools and resources employed to solve users’ data questions. The results offered insights into users’ data needs and provided librarians with a clear direction to further develop data skills in their assigned disciplines. The methodology used in this study can be replicated at other institutions to identify needs and to direct professional development.Item Center Stage: Performing a Needs Assessment of Campus Research Centers and Institutes(2017-04) Malone, Andrea; Martin, Lisa; Peters, Christie; Turner, Cherie; Vaughn, PorciaOutreach to research centers and institutes is often overlooked in academic libraries.
