Beyond the Numbers: Creating Actionable Data Using the Alma Analytics Dashboard
Conference or Developers' Day
Conference
Abstract
The changing role of library print collections requires that we use data to improve weeding, relocating and withdrawing. This presentation will show how the University of Auckland Libraries and Learning Services has used the Alma Analytics dashboard as a visualisation tool which enables collection managers to make data-driven decisions.
Following the implementation of the new Service Delivery Model, library processes and spaces required huge reshaping in a short period. Quick answers had to be found to questions, including: which titles support current teaching and learning activities; which were used in the past but are no longer relevant and how many are duplicated in different locations?
The presentation will show the dashboard which has been created to help our collection team to analyse data, model different scenarios, and present them to stakeholders. It will also look at restrictions we overcome to create optimised actionable lists.
The presentation will conclude with an overview of lessons learned and future directions.
