As the demand for data literacy and data-driven decision-making continues to grow, libraries are uniquely positioned to support their communities by offering innovative data services. Whether serving students, researchers, local governments, or the public, libraries can play a critical role in helping individuals access, interpret, and apply data effectively.

To support libraries in this evolving role, NNLM is excited to offer a free four-part webinar series designed to guide you through the process of establishing and growing data services in your library.
