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.
Geographic Information System and Mapping
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based means of storing, analyzing, displaying, and otherwise managing geospatial data - that is, any data that has a plottable or mappable geographic component. More than just a means of creating maps, GIS is a powerful tool for revealing and examining how geographic relationships affect the world around us, and for solving real-world problems where location and proximity come into play.
