Item Bit by Byte: Building Best Practices in Data Literacy(2022-05-05) Price, Carrie; Garczynski, Joyce; Yaukey, SuzannaData-related jobs are among some of the fastest growing in the United States. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for data scientists is likely to grow by more than 30% by 2030 (Kness, 2022). Even if students don’t choose a data science career, data skills are becoming more and more in demand across several professions, from marketing to the health sciences. Increasingly, "digital technologies and data systems play central roles" in our lives and in society (Raffaghelli & Stewart, 2020, p.435). In order to jumpstart data skills at Towson University, LIS professionals at the Albert S. Cook Library sought to incorporate and support data skills and proficiencies through several different approaches over time.Item I Just Want Tenure: Mapping Librarian Dissatisfaction with Library Science Scholarship(ACRL Conference, 2015-03) Browndorf, MargaretThis research is formulated on a single large significant assumption – that there exists among readers of LIS literature some degree of dissatisfaction associated with the quality of library literature. It was designed as an exploratory study to determine the shape of dissatisfaction in order to lay the groundwork for further work examining the scholarly conversation, discrepancy between the themes of dissatisfaction and evidence in the literature, and possible causes and solutions for the dissatisfaction. Four rough themes emerged, characterized by a series of subthemes. These are: perspective, depth and relevance; writing quality and presentation; methodology; and innovation and creativity. Additionally, some minor themes emerged, which attempted to explain major themes or represented conversations within the data. I have provided select examples in this poster. The poster was presented in March 2015 at the ACRL conference in Portland, Oregon.Item Twitter and Higher Education: A Bibliometric AnalysisPrice, Carrie; Towson University. Albert S. Cook Library. Research and InstructionSince the inception of Twitter in 2006, the platform has grown tremendously, with over 199 million daily active users worldwide as of May 2021 (Tankovska, 2021). The use of Twitter in academia is of particular interest to me since I have used the platform to live tweet clinical conferences, to share my professional work, and to connect with large networks of clinicians, medical librarians, and methodologists. These connections have often led to lasting relationships and professional collaborations.
