The WRLC Library Staff Intranet, which has served as a repository for statistical reports and analytics, is currently undergoing improvements related to analytics reports. With the transition to Alma analytics and the gradual departure from Voyager-generated reports, the intranet has over time become cluttered with various reports in sometimes hard-to-find locations. To resolve these challenges, the WRLC has implemented two new initiatives: updating and deduplicating statistical reports on the intranet, and developing interactive analytics capabilities based on data from Alma. AI tools, such as ChatGPT, were leveraged to test and optimize code, accelerating the development process. Reports can now be displayed on the intranet using scheduled, cached data, with visualizations created through Google Sheets that help users interpret the data more effectively.
Update and Deduplicate Statistics
The first phase of the project was to replace the old canned reports with new versions from Alma analytics and displaying the results directory on the WRLC intranet. Several high-priority reports are now available at https://www.libraries.wrlc.org/category/statistics-and-reports as indicated with the “Alma Analytics” badge.
