PDA Series – Using Your Data to Make Decisions (Collaborative Literacy Learning Series)

Libraries have access to a considerable amount of data: from statistics about library use (circulation, program attendance, website, and online resources use), to data about their communities. The hardest part of often determining what data are needed to answer operational questions or how to turn those data into evidence-based decisions.

Participants will leave this session with an understanding of how to create better visualizations for decision-making, and how to ask the questions to collect actionable data through community and staff surveys. Additionally, several templates will be provided to help in improving this data-driven process at their libraries.
