Adventures in data literacy: When the gap you were trying to identify turns out to be a chasm.

In an era where post-secondary students are seen as digital natives and novel knowledge mobilization is becoming an expected part of scholarly discourse, this paper synthesizes insights from multiple surveys about this topic. This research was conducted in 2020 and 2022 with participants from programs across the University of Manitoba (a Canadian public research university of around 30,000 students). This paper aims to illuminate the campus landscape and assess library support and resources for research visualization; additionally, the authors also explore challenges and potential pathways for improvement.

Abstract

In an era where post-secondary students are seen as digital natives and novel knowledge mobilization is becoming an expected part of scholarly discourse, this paper synthesizes insights from multiple surveys about this topic. This research was conducted in 2020 and 2022 with participants from programs across the University of Manitoba (a Canadian public research university of around 30,000 students). This paper aims to illuminate the campus landscape and assess library support and resources for research visualization; additionally, the authors also explore challenges and potential pathways for improvement.
