It's Love Data Week, so let's talk about Data Literacy! Like all forms of information, data can present numerous challenges and opportunities for users who want to amplify their research. This workshop will cover what constitutes "data", various forms it can take, what makes a dataset high-quality, data resources available through WKU Libraries, and best practices for finding as well as utilizing data in higher education.

  • This workshop is being offered in a hybrid format, with time allotted for both Zoom and in-person questions at the end. It will not be recorded.

This event is part of International Love Data Week 2025 with WKU Libraries. 

Take a minute to think about who owns data compared to who uses data.  Different groups - like researchers, the government, companies, or organizations - may collect data.  They could own it, share it, publish it online, or combine it.  This year's Love Data Week wants us to ask 'Whose Data is it Anyway?'  This helps us remember to think about where the data came from before using it.  Check out the Libraries for great workshops all week long and daily events!
