Join the Library as we host this data visualization webinar at our Parnassus location. 

Visualization can be a powerful and compelling way to convey information and to reveal complex patterns in data. Many libraries are beginning to explore how they can help their users develop skills in creating visualizations and provide services and tools for creating visualizations. This webinar will provide an introduction to best practices for creating visualizations, drawing on design theory and principles, visual perception, and the “Grammar of Graphics” framework for visualization. Viewers will also learn about how to select the right visualization tool or software for the job and where to learn more to expand their visualization tool box.

Objectives: After viewing this webinar, attendees will understand how to:

• convey complex data using visualization
• use principles of design to create visually appealing and informative visualizations
• create highly customized visualizations based on the “Grammar of Graphics”
• identify tools and software that can be used to design a variety of different types of visualizations
• plan to create a visualization service at their library
• find resources to learn more about creating visualizations
