Think your library's data could be doing more? You're right.

In our Data Fluency Foundations course, you'll learn how to collect, understand, and use your data in ways that actually make a difference for your staff and your community.

Why take this course?

You'll pick up real-world skills like how to ask better questions, design surveys that give you useful answers, and share your results in a way people will actually understand. You'll also learn how to spot bias, measure your library’s impact, and use data to tell a stronger story about the work you do. After a half-day of live sessions, you'll participate in a 3-week guided, asynchronous workshop to practice what you've learned through prompted activities with feedback from peers and a dedicated facilitator.
