LibGuides

The LibGuides dataset enables public libraries to dive deep into their website’s usage patterns by tracking essential metrics like the total number of public page views, user sessions, and the ratio of published guides to total guides.

By understanding how frequently users engage with guides and which resources are most accessed, libraries can make informed decisions about content development, user engagement strategies, and identify areas for improvement. 

By connecting your LibCal system to your Calendaring dataset, public libraries can seamlessly sync their event, appointment, space booking, and equipment booking data.

This integration provides libraries with an up-to-date overview of program and space usage, helping track attendance trends, measure event success, and identify high-demand resources for more effective planning and allocation.

The LibWizard dataset gives public libraries the ability to import data from their LibWizard forms, surveys, quizzes, and tutorials, enabling in-depth analysis of submissions and usage patterns. 

Libraries can track how frequently submissions come in and evaluate response trends over time. By analyzing this data, libraries can refine their services, identify gaps in user needs, and improve the efficiency of their form-based processes.

By connecting your LibAnswers system to your Reference dataset, public libraries can automatically track a wide range of interactions, including ticket submissions, FAQ views, and LibChat sessions.

This integration offers valuable insights into user engagement and service usage, enabling libraries to assess the effectiveness of their reference services. With detailed data on user inquiries and response trends, libraries can make informed decisions about staffing, resource allocation, and areas for improvement.
