A librarian turning student: New opportunities for library and the faculty

At this session, we would like to talk about our year-long experiment. Zhuzumkan Askhatbekova, AUCA librarian, has joined a group of master students for ‘Data Journalism’ and ‘Data Storytelling’ classes offered by the JMC Department. We will tell you how a librarian can contribute to the class and what she can take away for her own practices. The class was a mix of online, blended and hybrid learning, including project work. Additionally, thanks to AMICAL micro grant, we attended the biggest data journalism conference NICAR; we will also talk about the benefits of conference participation as a course-integrated activity.
