"The promise of "big data" and the power of sophisticated analytical models to guide decision-making in higher education will go unrealized until colleges and universities develop more comprehensive and integrated data cultures. In Cultivating a Data Culture in Higher Education, experienced data and information system experts and leaders in institutional research provide practical suggestions and relevant models to help colleges and universities encourage data literacy and democratization, and establish much needed cultures in which data are shared, valued, trusted and used."
