Data visualizations help us identify trends and communicate information about large datasets. This workshop introduced users to the basics of using Tableau Public, a free and easy-to-use data visualization tool. We reviewed how to import data, navigate the Tableau interface, and create simple visualizations for publishing and sharing online.

Interested in working with large volumes of published content from news, scholarly and other publications? Constellate and Proquest TDM Studio are library services that allow researchers to mine data from a variety of sources and start visualizing, analyzing, and exporting data right away. In this workshop, we compared these two platforms, perform searches, and learn about text analysis more generally.
