What is data 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 diagrams and illustrations, to posters and presentations. Anything that helps communicate information visually.

Registration is open for the spring Python Learning Atelier!
Curious about learning to program but not sure how to start? This free Python learning program from NU library's Research Data Services offers the chance to go more in-depth than a typical workshop, while still being less formally demanding than a class.
Meet once a week to learn through hands-on exercises from the textbook Automate the Boring Stuff with Python: Practical Programming for Total Beginners. Any time you get stuck, the library’s Text Mining Specialist Lawrence Evalyn will be on-hand to clarify and troubleshoot. Between meetings, you have nothing to worry about — just come back next week to pick up where you left off.
