Title: Gale Analytics Access & Training
Narrative: Gale Analytics empowers library staff to make data-informed decisions through improved access to data and enhanced analysis tools. Libraries were able to develop maps and other visualizations that overlay these types of segmentation to provide an in-depth view of needs and wants alongside current library engagement and service offerings through four dashboards. During preparation for this project all public libraries were invited to a demonstration of Gale Analytics. The self-identified libraries are geographically and socioeconomically diverse. Twenty-two libraries participated in year one of the project. Many libraries chose to set up multiple accounts for staff. In total seventy-five library staff members actively participated in the project.
Intent: Improve library operations.
