Analyzes data to make library program decisions
I create and analyze our library usage statistics at the end of every 6 weeks which includes books checked out, database hits, number of students using the library, number of classes coming to the library, and other meetings/trainings/testing done in the library. From this data, I map out the next 6 weeks and what needs to be done.
