DIL Definition and Competencies
“Data information literacy, then,
merges the concepts of
researcher-as-producer and
researcher-as-consumer of data
products. As such it builds upon
and reintegrates data, statistical,
information and science data
literacy into an emerging skill set.”
Carlson, Jake R.; Fosmire, Michael; Miller, Chris; and Sapp
Nelson, Megan, "Determining Data Information Literacy Needs: A
Study of Students and Research Faculty" (2011). Libraries Faculty
and Staff Scholarship and Research. Paper 23.
