Abstract

In the digital age, data literacy is essential for students across all disciplines. This article discusses an innovative approach to enhancing data literacy through collaboration between academics and librarians. By forming learning communities with regular meetings, seminars, and group projects, these partnerships develop instructional tools, assessment instruments, and data literacy modules. The initiative has led to the creation of stand-alone data literacy courses and the integration of data literacy into existing curricula, significantly improving students' skills in data analysis, critical evaluation, and data-driven decision-making. This model of interdisciplinary cooperation effectively embeds data literacy in higher education, preparing students for modern challenges.
