- Abstract
Although the need for data services at academic institutions is well known, researchers often view data management plans mandates as “sticks.” While working with researchers at Oregon Health & Science University, I have found that Data Visualization is an excellent “carrot”, becoming a tool that fosters discussion, engagement and collaboration. This session will cover how OHSU developed Data Visualization workshops, services, and formal curricula. These data services have led to new partnerships and stronger ties, benefiting both our data management services and our broader library initiatives.
