Data visualization (or data viz) is a powerful tool for communicating information to your audience, no matter who your audience might be or what information you’re trying to convey. In the second Data Viz with the UAB Libraries workshop for Spring 2025, librarian Ashley S. McGuire will introduce you to the wide world of data visualization theory. In less stuffy terms, you’ll learn how to understand your audience, select the right type of visualization for your data, and how to tell a great story with your data!

Whether your research is about numbers (quantitative), words (qualitative), or a bit of both, stop in to learn a bit about best practices and common pitfalls to ensure accuracy and clarity in your data visualizations. Bring a laptop (or borrow one from the library) to follow along. Each of these seminars will also end with suggestions for resources you can use to explore what we discuss on your own, which you can preview on the UAB Libraries Data Visualization Tools guide!
