Have you been looking for a way to connect with others working with library data in Minnesota?

Library data can be a powerful tool for advocacy and storytelling, but doing this work alone can be difficult. Getting feedback and tips from others can speed up our data projects and make them better.

📬 Sign up for our new discussion list: https://lists.mnpals.org/mailman/listinfo/mn-lib-data

  • Ask questions, share resources or compare experiences.
  • People from all types of libraries and positions are welcome. Many of us wonder if we're "doing it right," or hesitate to share because we don’t feel like experts. If you are interested in library data, you belong here.
  • When you join, take a moment to introduce yourself and your current data project! It would be great if people doing similar projects can support each other.

This new discussion list was created in response to requests to keep the data conversations going. We’re also planning a series of webinars over the next few months. If you have topics you’d like covered, or if you would like to present a session, let us know!

Let’s connect, collaborate and make the most of our library data!
