Abstract

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is moving rapidly toward integrating data literacy and data science in the undergraduate curriculum. This study interviewed instructors across the social sciences to identify ways the university libraries could improve and expand support for teaching undergraduates with data. While the library already offers an extensive suite of data support services, instructors were not always aware of all the services available. In addition to expanded outreach, the study identified three areas in which to expand the library's services: helping instructors obtain data for teaching, extending course-specific and direct-to-student support, and expanding workshop instruction for working with data. It includes advice for libraries wanting to build new data services.
