Data Analytics and Visualization
Data visualization or information visualization is a very broad term used to describe any visual representation of information. This can be anything from charts and graphs, to sketches and diagrams, to posters and presentations. Anything that helps communicate information visually. At Northeastern University Library, Research Data Analyst Kate Kryder can help people with things like creating dashboards, maps, and tables of data.
Data Management Guide
Research Data Management Librarian Jen Ferguson has created a guide to Data Management, with two parts: Managing Your Data and Data Management Plans. Jen is happy to meet with you, talk over phone or email, and/or point you to resources.
