Effective data visualization is vital for communicating your research and making an impact. This presentation has two parts. In Part I, we present recommended conceptual practices and rules-of-thumb, with specific examples. Part II is hands-on exercise using Tableau Public, a free data visualization tool. You can create interactive graphs, dashboards, maps, and tables from virtually any data.

Location: This event will take place in Hillman Library's Digital Scholarship Lab (room G30), located just past the main service desk on the ground floor of the library. Look for the glass double-doors after entering through the ground floor atrium entrance; if you enter on the first floor, take the elevator down to the ground floor and turn right out of the elevator.

Non-Pitt participants must obtain a temporary ID at the Hillman circulation desk to access the computer workstations. Please check in with the workshop presenter or contact ULS-DigitalScholarshipServices@pitt.edu if you plan to bring your own personal laptop and have questions about downloading software prior to attending the event.
