Summer meeting (Nikki)

Poll of who will be attending the 1st day (Analytics Session) - all attendees will be there.

In the afternoon session, Megan will present 2:30 - 3:45 p.m. on Cost Usage reports (1st 1/2) and Fulfillment reports (2nd 1/2). Our drop-in session will be 2:30 - 5:00 p.m. We will need to coordinate attendance at Megan's session.

Dean's Dashboard (Lauren)
  • Demo’d Tableau wireframe
    • CSU-wide view but can filter by campus, time period
  • Some infrastructure will be required for storing data and automation, may need system-wide Tableau lic.
  • Recommend anonymizing and trimming data for the demo so that users focus on the tool rather than the (data) discrepancies.
  • An LC breakdown is in the works
  • Brandon will bring to COLD

Karen is working on a Collection Development dashboard for San Jose. Will put in shared folder.

Tech Services Open Forum

Luis has invited presenters for the fall

  • Karen volunteered to show her Collection Development dashboard
  • Others?

  • Alma vendor record bug:
    • Currently cannot enter login information in the “Statistics Information” tab, only “Administrative Information” tab
  • Fiscal close:
    •  Karen Schlesser (Unlicensed) and Amanda G. Action item: Karen and Amanda will work to gather stats in Alma where only a snapshot is available (e.g., portfolio counts for ebooks, ejournals, IZ and NZ) for the year-end close
  • Task Force updates:
    • Resource Sharing from Nikki: 
      • Nikki created a dashboard, still work in progress but available for logging in and viewing at the NZ level, demonstrating the impact on individual libraries
      • Lending seems more balanced (evidence of ROTA working perhaps)
      • Borrowing will probably require some assessment as to why some campuses have higher levels of requests
    • Data Viz from Lauren:
      • Working on Dean’s dashboard (deadline: 7/15/2018)
      • Working on needs assessment and environmental scan (deadline: 6/30/2018)
      • Carve out some time during the analytics day to share prototypes during the ULMS summer meeting and provide opportunity for folks to comment during the open lab time,also announce the progress update during the announcements
    • Primo Analytics from Alyssa:
      • Still looking at primo vs. google
      • Some mapping taking place but it’s documented on confluence
      • Will probably need to rope back to look at primo analytics and CSU+ data
      • Focus has been heavy on UX
    • Fulfillment from Brian:
      • [Mic issues] Will provide an update next time

Lauren has been using the SRU integration for a similar project.

  • ACRL: 
    • Webinar was well-attended; Ying Liu has been very good about copying us and adding our contact information to ACRL/IPEDS emails.
    • NZ Analytics suddenly has a large number of similarly-named ACRL reports, probably from other campuses trying to run reports; many of these will not give the desired results.
      • Action items:  Create an official folder with our recommended analyses (Amanda G.) and others in group will test to be sure results are consistent and work for other campuses
  • Primo Analytics:
    • Neither TF member was present to report
  • Resource Sharing TF:
    • Making progress toward rota balancing metrics.  Brian Moore (Unlicensed)has been working with Mallory DeBartolo (Unlicensed) to find an accurate metric for borrowing/lending stats (the basic Num Requests measure doesn't provide a distinct unduplicated count). Not possible in Analytics to create a report that uses more than one subject area and has filters that come from non-shared dimensions, so he is creating separate, appropriately-filtered reports for borrowing and lending and combining in Excel.
    • New request to create report to identify returned CSU+ books inappropriately reshelved by the borrowing library instead of being shipped back to the lending campus.  This is a common error that typically occurs if the patron has removed the book band or other ILL identifiers.  Nikki DeMoville (Unlicensed)will work with local ILL staff to test a report of titles that have been checked in but not received by the lending campus within a reasonable window of time and then share the results with the RS TF and hand off to Mallory for scheduling and distribution to other campuses as appropriate.
  • Fulfillment:
    • Amanda G.is working with the group on training needs, has shared training resources pages from our wiki; Fulfillment group wants to do some analytics/reporting webinars
  • Resource Management:
    • Agreed to do a TS Open Forum presentation on NZ Analytics after the first of the year.  Will call for volunteers when date is settled.  Everyone should be thinking about what reports would be useful to share with the TS audience.
  • Data Visualization:
    • Will get going sometime early next year.  Discussed difficulties in getting access to Tableau on various campuses.  Problem may be license expense.  Per brandon dudley (Unlicensed) there is no consortial deal at this time.  May want to explore the idea once this group has some proof-of-concept demonstrations in place.
  • Update from Brandon:
    • Deans interested in a "Deans' Dashboard."  Will need to gather information regarding what they would consider useful.
    • Deans interested in CSU+ metrics and assessment.  This is a high priority for the RS joint task force (rota balancing is highest due to operational impact).  Mallory has made good progress in identifying appropriate metrics.
    • Brandon will reach out to the COLD Assessment Team (CAT) to put them in touch with our group for Alma/Primo data needs.  Several members of CAT are from Cal Poly SLO, Fullerton, and San Jose, which may facilitate communication.
