The "Data Visualization Clinic": a library-led critique workshop for data visualization.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The authors' main university library and affiliated academic medical center library sought to increase library programming around data visualization, a new service area for both libraries. Additionally, our institution is home to many researchers with a strong interest in data visualization but who are generally working in isolation of one another.

Case presentation

This case study describes an innovative workshop, the "Data Visualization Clinic," where members of our library's community bring in data visualization projects such as figures in papers, projects hosted online, and handouts and receive constructive feedback from a group of peers. The authors detail the process of hosting a clinic and the feedback that we received from participants.
