Jo Angela Oehrli, University of Michigan, will discuss the Supporting Librarians in Adding Data Literacy Skills to Information Literacy Instruction project, a two-year project running from October 2015 through September 2017 to develop data and statistical literacy skills in high school librarians so they can better support critical comprehension skills in their students. Over the course of the project, co-PIs Kristin Fontichiaro and Jo Angela Oehrli will partner data experts with curriculum experts to identify mini-lessons, strategies, and “rules of thumb” that high school librarians (and others working with beginning researchers) can nimbly weave into their instruction.

Project deliverables include:

• An online conference in Summers 2016 and 2017
• A handbook of background information, “rules of thumb,” strategies, mini-lessons, and additional resources
• A series of professional development materials, including webinars and discussion questions.

This MIX presentation will report on both the status of the project and the results of the Summer 2016 4T Online Conference conducted in July.
