Public libraries, join us this October for Datapalooza, a free one-day training extravaganza! Patrick Bodily, State Data Coordinator & Eastern Field Consultant, and Dylan Baker, Broadband Consultant, will take you through the changes made to the annual library statistics reporting website, introduce Outcome based evaluation tools including Project Outcome, and provide a crash course in data visualization. They will also provide you with information and resources to address the new public library wireless filtering requirements going into effect on July 1, 2020. It’s going to be an information-packed day!

Datapalooza is taking place throughout Idaho at the following libraries:

Lunch will be provided for all who attend, but please bring your own laptop/tablet if possible. Multiple staff from the same library may attend, but if the registration cap of 40 attendees at a location is reached, we may need to ask you to choose only one or two people per library to attend. Mileage reimbursement will be available for those needing to travel more than 50 miles to the nearest of these libraries. Libraries that are eligible for mileage reimbursement and have multiple staff attend will only receive one mileage reimbursement.

For any questions about Datapalooza or any of these topics, please contact Patrick (208-525-7211 or patrick.bodily@libraries.idaho.gov) and/or Dylan (208-639-4167 or dylan.baker@libraries.idaho.gov). See you in October!
