Joel Herndon

Joel Herndon leads Duke Libraries' Data and Visualization Services, a consulting and training service providing support for data science, data management, data visualization, digital mapping, and data analysis. His recent research considers the evolution of data management requirements in social science journals and how research libraries can provide consultation and training to meet those requirements (Herndon and O'Reilly, 2016). He has a strong interest in how libraries engage with their communities in digital research and training. Recent projects include leading the launch of the Edge research space in Duke Libraries, active involvement in Duke's DataFest competitions, and serving as a principal investigator on the Data Curation Network.
