FW: Opportunity to participate in project exploring the future of professional education in LIS
Sklar, Annelise
Hi friends,
You may be familiar with the LIS Education and Data Science Integrated Network Group (LEADING) initiative, which pairs LIS students and early career librarians with data science projects at member institutions.
I wanted to share information about a new component project, DATALIS, which is using design thinking methodologies to look ahead and envision future innovative opportunities in this area.
There will be a virtual workshop Wednesday January 24 that may be of interest – description and registration is via Eventbrite.

Subject: Opportunity to participate in project exploring the future of professional education in LIS
Library Colleagues,
I would like to bring to your attention an opportunity to participate in a series of planning workshops focused on exploring the future of professional education in Library and Information Science. This effort is part of LEADING – a multi-year project co-led by Crystal Goldman and myself along with colleagues from Drexel University, University of New Mexico and OCLC that has trained over 80 early career LIS professionals in data science research.
Our capstone project – DATALIS is using design thinking methodologies to look ahead and envision future innovative opportunities in this area. On Wednesday January 24 we will have our kickoff virtual workshop and I welcome your participation: https://datalis.design/learn/
Over the next few months, we will hold a series of virtual workshops, culminating in a hybrid session scheduled for March 27 to be held in San Diego and online. If this is of interest to you please do register for the workshop and please talk with your supervisor if you have questions about how to make time to participate.
Thank you,
Erik
