Lee Crowther

Hi! My name is Lee. I am an information professional with a passion for data analytics. Since 2011, I have worked in information science. The field is a natural fit—I love looking at how we make sense of information: How do we find it, understand it, organize it, analyze it, and communicate it? When I learned about data analytics, which asks similar questions, I was intrigued. I had already become enamored with spreadsheets in my library work, but data analytics introduced me to new tools that could do even more. I learned tools like Python and SQL. I also learned to use spreadsheets in new ways. All of these tools made me more effective as a librarian. They also got me hooked on data analytics. I completed the Google Data Analytics Specialization, which taught me R and improved my Tableau knowledge. I have enjoyed applying the principles of data analytics to information science—so much so that I now want to enter the field of data analytics itself and to become a data analyst.
