Streamlining Analytics Reports to Provide Library Collections Data to ACRL, IPEDS, and ARL

Back to Schedule Check-inYou can join session 5 minutes before start time.

Session Information

Each year North American research libraries are tasked with completing Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL), Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), and American Research Libraries (ARL) surveys. Ready-made reports and dashboards for these industry standard reports in Analytics Shared Folders are counterintuitive and require selecting options from multiple drop down menus. My goal was to streamline this process by designing reports to support a single prompt dashboard to provide data for the Library Collections sections of the surveys. This session will describe the process for designing the reports, crosswalking terms from the surveys to Alma Analytics filters, and strategies for overcoming the challenges that were encountered along the way.
