This panel focuses on an emerging theme in information research: data literacy. As the growth of big data transforms many aspects of daily life, not every citizen is ready to understand the value of the openly available data and read, work with, and utilize it. This raises the question: How can organizations and individuals innovate to address digital exclusion and enable individuals to use the resources that are available to participate in a connected information environment? This interactive panel aims to describe and discuss creative and experimental approaches to address data literacy practices in different contexts, theoretical models, and philosophical arguments. We address this from a variety of perspectives, including community college students’ data literacy needs, research data management in libraries, data literacy for Hispanic students in high schools, and inclusive data literacy curriculum design.
