    Library Storytelling with Data: Argument, Evidence, and Emotion
    Kate McDowell, School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

    Learn how to bring data stories to life for library advocacy. Participants will learn about ongoing research identifying classic library stories told to persuade decision-makers as part of the Data Storytelling Toolkit for Librarians grant (IMLS). Tools every library can use include:

    • Five classic advocacy arguments
    • Evidence and forms of data for those arguments
    • Narrative strategies that draw from classic story structures
    • Tone and tactics for emotionally engaging storytelling to different audiences, including positive, negative, mixed, and polarized by misinformed/disinforming audience members.

    Dr. Kate McDowell has worked with regional, national, and international nonprofits including the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO, part of WHO, on an Anti-Infodemic Virtual Center addressing mis/dis/malinformation in health contexts) and the Public Library Association (PLA, speaking about data storytelling). Her nationally funded project Data Storytelling Toolkit for Librarians with co-PI Dr. Matthew Turk is underway (https://imls.gov/grants/awarded/re-250094-ols-21). She has trained advancement professionals across the University of Illinois system (Chicago, Springfield, Urbana-Champaign) and provided storytelling consulting for multiple statewide and national nonprofits and consortia. Kate received the 2022 ASIS&T Outstanding Information Science Teacher Award for her innovative storytelling and data storytelling teaching.

    Thu, May 23, 2024 / 1:00pm to 3:00pm

    The CARLI Instruction Committee meets monthly via Zoom. Contact Committee co-chairs or CARLI Office Staff with questions.

    Thu, May 23, 2024 / 2:00pm to 3:00pm

    Rollover, serials renewals, end-of-year receiving: Unlike most routine acquisitions tasks, some of the tasks with the broadest reach take place only once each year. The details of annual practices may have less of a place in our memories than other routine work. Revisiting the goals and overall practices may be useful in refreshing those memories.

    At this month's Technical Services Q&A, CARLI staff will share instructions on processes and best practices for the annual fiscal period rollover of ledgers and orders. Aspects considered will include purchase order line clean-up and attention to serials order renewal dates. CARLI welcomes the practical experience and input of library staff as well.

    The CARLI Technical Services Q&A Webinar Series offers an opportunity to gather with CARLI staff and your technical services colleagues across the consortium to discuss technical services topics. Topics will frequently focus on Alma issues ranging from acquisitions and cataloging workflows for physical resources to electronic resources management. Sessions may include how-to presentations, discussions of consortial practices, and opportunities for everyone to ask and answer questions on different issues. Each session is recorded and archived.

    Use the Register tab on this page to attend. Zoom connection details will be sent to registrants after registration has closed on May 21 at noon.

    Fri, May 24, 2024 / 11:00am to 12:30pm

    CARLI is pleased to offer a 3-week synchronous and asynchronous course on open educational resources.

    Live Sessions via Zoom on May 10, 17, and 24 at 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (materials for first session sent to participants on May 3)

    Attendees should plan to attend each live session for month that they register. The content of each month's session will be the same; register for one option only. 

    CARLI is planning to offer this program multiple times throughout the year. 

    The virtual program will contain both synchronous (3 live 90 minutes Zoom sessions) and asynchronous (readings, videos, etc.) to be completed before each live session. The live sessions will include some presentations, but the aim of the program planners is that these will incorporate a flipped classroom model to build community among participants as all share and discuss the topics.

    Technology used for live sessions: Zoom, ideally participants will be able to use video as well as audio.

    The asynchronous portions of the training, shared with participants weekly, should not take longer than one hour of your time prior to each live session.

    The train-the-trainer program is designed to help the novice person learning about open educational resources to apply the information from this program to build their own local programs and workshops as they move up the Bloom’s Taxonomy from remember and understand to apply.

    Note that these sessions were created for the five 2024 new I-Share libraries, so their staff have had the first chance to register. As such, I will try to update the event description with “waitlist only” when registration is reached for a particular session of a lesson.

    To Register: Use the "Register" tab at the top of this page.
    Please note, this session is now registering Waitlist.

    The same content is presented 4 times. You do not need to register for more than one session, unless you want to repeat the training.

    We plan for these sessions to be "hands on" with examples provided to attendees so they can follow along.
    If the Alma Sandboxes are too slow for this in real-time (we will find out!), attendees will be asked to watch during the session, and will be provided with a recording of the session to do the examples on their own time (contacting CARLI staff with questions).
