Library Decisions with Alma Analytics

Abstract

Librarians love to collect data such as circulation statistics or the number of questions answers. However, the straight data is not always helpful or relevant. This session will talk about what data is needed for library decision making such as how many new laptops to purchase for circulation, how many people to schedule at the circulation desk, and in what collection development areas to focus. These questions can be solved by data that is currently in Alma Analytics. It is just a matter of pulling it out in the correct way and format.
