2015 Charleston Library Conference

Increasingly under pressure to demonstrate their value to their institution, libraries need creative ways to improve efficiency and productivity. Powerful analytic capabilities enable libraries to put numbers on their value and to expose tangible evidence of their leading role in the academic lifecycle. Valuable insight into libraries’ operations and user behavior can be gained via purchasing trends, comparative analysis, and even predictive analysis. We will explore ways in which analytical analysis from the library resource management solution, the discovery interface, and their combination, can take libraries into the next generation.
