Data Science & Analytics for Libraries
Integrated data science services helping to make decisions easier at every stage. Know more about the money you're spending.
ContactLibrarians are great at what they do but new challenges are making it even harder. Library work increasingly involves combing through spreadsheets and reports. How do you navigate the complex landscape in the new digital era? I can help. By empowering the already excellent team at your library with tools driven by your own data, we can make decisions easier, faster, and more confidently.
Solutions
1
Data Analytics.
Your data already contains answers that you're looking for but it's not so easy to extract them. I take your data and distill it into knowledge that you can act on.
2
Data Warehousing.
You have different types of data stored in different places and different formats. A data warehouse does the hard work of cleaning and combining it in the background. Your team can easily grab data they can trust.
3
Automation.
Everybody has tasks that need to be finished but don't make a long-term impact. Licenses need renewing and reports need publishing and someone has to do it. Automating the boring stuff lets you spend effort on something valuable instead.
