Managing Your Library Data

Managing Your Library Data

Wow your boards with your command of data!

In this webinar, learn from your peers at other libraries how they keep track of their statistics from month to month using spreadsheets in Excel and visualizations in Power BI. See some concrete examples in action that your library can follow in order to make the Annual Report easier as well as monthly reports to your board and other stakeholders.

Since we’re at the beginning of many libraries’ fiscal years and at the beginning of the state Annual Report period, this is a good time to set up your new data-keeping practices to make all your reports easier in the future.

Presenters:

  • Emily Mills, Youth Services Librarian, Cromwell Belden Public Library
  • Pasquale Festa, MSIS, Circulation Librarian, North Haven Memorial Library
  • Kate Byroade (She/Her/Hers), Library Director, Cragin Memorial Library

Perfect for: anyone who contributes numbers to the state Annual Report, anyone who contributes to reports to the Library Board or municipality, library directors, administrators, department heads, anyone who wants to learn more about Excel and Power BI

The session will be recorded, with link posted afterward to the Data playlist on DLD's YouTube channel.
