Join members of the NC LIVE Continuing Education and Training Committee (CETAC) for a laid-back, "cameras-on" (if you want!) chat about what’s actually happening in our libraries right now. We’re moving past the "how-to" of specific databases and into the "why" of our daily work. This discussion is an opportunity for North Carolina public library staff to discuss the big-picture issues and emerging interests that are currently on your mind - and at the reference desk.
From the quirks of navigating AI in instruction sessions to keeping our spaces accessible and welcoming in 2026, no topic is too big or too small.
This discussion is dedicated to the interests and issues that keep us busy. Whether you’re working in an small college or a large university, come hang out with peers across North Carolina to brainstorm and network.Register Here >>

Devon Waugh, Instruction Librarian for NC LIVETeaching Data Literacy
Joddy Marchesoni, the Data Services Librarian at Wake Forest University, will help you kickstart data literacy instruction sessions at your library using established ACRL guidelines. You'll also practice fun and engaging activities to inspire your patrons to love data, too!
In this webinar, we will explore how to approach data literacy in library instruction sessions through hands-on activities and open resources. “The data literate individual understands, explains and documents the utility and limitations of data by becoming a critical consumer of data, controlling one’s personal data trail, finding meaning and taking action based on data. One can identify, collect, evaluate, analyze, interpret, present and protect data” (Oceans of Data Institute). We will discuss how to consider faculty and student needs around data literacy and how librarians are well-positioned to build data culture at their institutions. The Adopt a Dataset activity is a great way to practice evaluating data, and can be used as inspiration for your own activities!
