IGeLU 2024

Conference

At the University of Western Australia we provide statistics on Leganto usage as part of the Library Annual Report. However, without a defined benchmark for success, it was unclear whether our student usage could be considered good, bad, or average. By digging deeper into the statistics available in Analytics, and harnessing key parts of our service workflows, we were able to contextualise our figures and set appropriate expectations for success. These changes made our reporting to senior management more meaningful and deepened our understanding of reading list usage. Along the way we discovered new avenues for investigation, setting the scene for further analysis to better understand how our students and Unit Coordinators use Leganto. In this presentation, we will discuss the issues with our reporting of Leganto statistics, the outcome of our investigation, and the changes we made to the Library Annual Report to make our statistics meaningful and relevant.
