ELUNA 2023 Annual Meeting
Stat Cat: What’s That? Working with Alma User Statistical Categories
Session Abstract
Libraries are trying to determine new methods of assessment as we return to in-person service post-pandemic. You may already have user statistical categories (“statcats”) in your Alma user records and not even realize it! This presentation will cover how to see if you already have some statcats in your system, how to configure, add and improve them, how to use statcats in Analytics, statcat ideas you might want to try, and what statcats can tell you about your library users to help with desk staffing and outreach plans.
Learning Outcome #1
At the end of the session, participants will know all the steps for configuring user statistical categories in Alma and Analytics.
Learning Outcome #2
Participants will get practical advice on how to use statcat data in conjunction with Analytics, especially for circulation/fulfillment.
Learning Outcome #3
Participants will get tips on other ways to use statcat data outside of circulation/fulfillment.
