Import Data Directly From Your Springshare Tools

Your LibApps tools are already collecting valuable data—why not put it to work? With LibInsight, you can effortlessly import statistics from your other LibApps to centralize your data for deeper analysis. Save time, ensure consistency, and uncover actionable insights all in one place.

LibGuides

The LibGuides dataset enables 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 available resources, outreach strategies, and identify areas for growth. 

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

This integration provides libraries with an up-to-date overview of space utilization, helping track trends, measure user needs, and identify high-demand resources for more effective forecasting.

The LibWizard dataset gives 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, 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.

Import Data From Other Sources

LibInsight offers flexible options for collecting and importing data, making it easy for libraries to track and analyze statistics across all library operations. Whether you’re using pre-built or custom datasets, LibInsight provides a range of flexible methods for data collection and import.

For e-resource usage tracking, LibInsight supports COUNTER 5-compliant datasets. Analyze database, e-journal, and eBook usage by automatically retrieving data directly from vendors via SUSHI harvesting. This automation saves time and ensures accuracy.

For data analysis on acquisitions, circulation, gate counts, interlibrary loans, and more, you can easily upload spreadsheets of exported data from your ILS or other systems. LibInsight’s user-friendly interface guides you through mapping data for seamless integration.

When automation isn’t possible, LibInsight allows for quick manual entry of data. This is ideal for custom datasets, reference tracking, or any scenario where data needs to be entered on an as-needed basis.
