5 ways to Celebrate Love Data Week 2024
February 12-16, 2024, marks the annual international celebration of Love Data Week!
This year the theme of Love Data Week is “My Kind of Data.” Data is personal. Spend time this week learning about data equity and inclusion, disciplinary communities, and creating a kinder world through data.
If you have not participated previously, now is the time! Let’s help new and seasoned data users find data training and resources to move the needle on issues they care about. It is easy! Here are five simple ways to get involved:
1. Attend an Online Class or Event
At Lane Library we have two data classes during the week. Register to attend either or both!
