Teacher, tell us a data story! Moving toward best practices in data librarian education

This panel explores approaches to teaching data librarianship to aspiring and current librarians. The panelists represent the range of modes of teaching data librarianship: semester-long courses (face-to-face and online), full-day workshops, and "one shot" sessions. Format: A moderator poses a question, each panelist responds, moderator solicits discussion from audience, moderator proceeds to the next question, repeat process. Questions may include the following: (1) What areas of "data services" do you cover in your teaching, and why? (2) What assignments/activities do you have students/attendees do? Is there one particular assignment/activity you find particularly effective, and why? (3) Pick one challenge of teaching data librarianship...how do you try to overcome them? (4) Data services cannot be done in a vacuum. How do you prepare data librarians to collaborate both inside and beyond the library? (5) If you had to name one core skill that data librarians should have, what would that be and why?Outcome: Summarize discussion to share with IASSIST and ACMLA communities, and gauge interest kick-starting an interest group to deliniate best practices in data librarian education.
