The University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information proposes to create and pilot instructional materials focused on building capacity for library participation in their civic data ecosystems. The goals of this instructional design project are to create materials that instructors can integrate into MLIS coursework and that can be used in professional development training in library settings. This project is a partnership between the School of Computing and Information and the Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center based in University Center for Social and Urban Research, with advisory support from library representatives and MLIS programs nationally.
