Faced with a highly diverse combination of externally and internally
collected data (web visits, gate counter, collection usage, subject
analysis, budgets, space use, reference help interactions, etc.), academic
libraries have rapidly mastered the value and use of analytics. Whether
analyzing prospective subscription packages to determine their value for an
institution’s research activities or reviewing usage data drawn from the
local digital repository, libraries want to extract meaning from the
increasing volume of *library* data. What does that data look like? How
should that data be managed? And in what combinations is that data most
enlightening?

*NISO Two-Part Webinar, Part Two*

*Actionable Data Analysis
<https://www.niso.org/events/2018/09/part-one-using-analytics-extract-value-librarys-data>*

We have the data and the report. Looking beyond the simple statistical
report (*how many individuals attended a program or searched a database*),
what might be best practices in using that data in support of long-term
planning and decision making? What types of trends do libraries believe
they might be seeing? Wrestling with library data should yield significant
insights about the institution's needs. Libraries and those who serve them
will benefit from understanding how data is being wrangled, mixed, and
interpreted.
