LibAnalytics

LibAnalytics is a software platform designed to help libraries understand and improve their services through data analysis. It collects and aggregates data from various library systems, such as circulation, catalog usage, and patron activity, to provide actionable insights. The goal of LibAnalytics is to empower librarians with a clearer picture of how their resources are being utilized, identifying trends, and supporting data-driven decision-making.

The platform typically offers features like customizable dashboards, reporting tools, and visualization capabilities. These allow librarians to track key performance indicators, such as the popularity of specific collections, peak usage times, and patron demographics. By analyzing this information, libraries can make informed decisions about acquisitions, staffing, program development, and resource allocation. LibAnalytics aims to move beyond traditional statistical reporting to offer deeper analytical perspectives, helping libraries better serve their communities and demonstrate their value. It is often integrated with existing library management systems to streamline data collection and analysis processes.
