Title: Introduction to Date Visualization Using Tableau Public
Description: Tableau is a popular and marketable data visualization tool that faculty and students request training for regularly. In this hands-on workshop, attendees will learn introductory data visualization principles and how they are used to describe, analyze, and communicate data. Using Tableau Public, a free version of the tool, this workshop proceeds with a tour of the Tableau interface, connecting to an example data set, creating a few visualizations, and then pulling those visualizations together to make a dashboard. In closing, attendees will learn where to find resources for subsequent practice and learning.
Sign up today!
The first webinar in the new FLA/FACRL Webinar Series is coming up on Thursday, February 18 from 1:00pm - 2:00pm.
Title: Correlation does not equal Causality: Data Literacy for EveryoneSpeaker: Nick Ruhs, Florida State UniversityRegistration: https://fla.memberclicks.net/fla-facrl-ruhs
Description: With the vast amount of statistics and infographics now available at the touch of a finger or click of a mouse, it is often difficult to determine which ones offer an accurate representation of a topic. This interactive workshop will provide an overview of data literacy and reproducibility concepts, and will outline various strategies for determining the integrity and authenticity of data that one might come across in a research article, on social media, or in the news. The overall aim of this session is to give attendees the knowledge needed to determine the purpose for which statistical and pictorial data is being used and whether conclusions using the data are sound.

FACRL was once again very involved in the annual Florida Library Association (FLA) Conference. The 2019 FLA Conference was held May 15-17, 2019 at the DoubleTree at Universal, Orlando, FL. FACRL events, presentations, and sponsored events included:
The FACRL Sponsored Coffee Break was a welcomed sight prior to the opening general session and the FACRL Board had the opportunity to network with FACRL members and FLA attendees and to promote our upcoming 2019 FACRL Conference.
The FACRL organized presentation, Even the Odds: Libraries Solving the Student Textbook Problem, was held on Thursday, May 16th at 9:30am, and included speakers Rebecca Donlan (Florida Gulf Coast University Library Services), Amy Filiatreau (Eugene M. and Christine E. Lynn Library, Lynn University), Peggy Glatthaar (Florida Gulf Coast University Library Services), and Danielle Rosenthal (Florida Gulf Coast University Library Services). Librarians from two Florida universities showed how they are providing learning resources for free or dramatically reduced cost, providing access to traditional course texts through reserve collections and creating OER. Funding, faculty incentives, identifying textbooks, maintaining the collection, and marketing the program were discussed.
The FACRL Board Meeting was held on Thursday, May 16th at 11:00am. Minutes from that meeting can be found here. At the board meeting, the FACRL board of directors rolled over to the newly elected board and we all thanked outgoing FACRL President Rebecca Donlan for her work and service.

On behalf of the Florida Chapter of the Association for College and Research Libraries (FACRL) we would personally like to thank you for your generous donations to the FACRL Hurricane Michael Relief Fund. FACRL was able to provide $500 for relief efforts to each of the following academic libraries affected by Hurricane Michael:
We hope that this amount, though small, will be of some aid to the libraries and their staff affected by this storm as they continue to rebuild after last year's devastation. We have already received personal thank you letters from the recipients of our fundraising efforts, and were pleased to hear that our donations are helping those families in need during this long road to recovery.
Thank you for helping your colleagues during this difficult time!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Donlan
President, FACRL
