NCLA Con 2025

Usage statistics can be challenging to collect and interpret. NC LIVE is uniquely positioned to provide libraries with guidance and context for interpreting their statistics. To leverage this we've been building an updated statistics portal that gives librarians more control over what data is included in their usage reports, and provides new tools to analyze them. In this presentation, we'll go over the goals, process, and challenges of redesigning the NC LIVE Statistics Portal, how librarians can use it to get data about their own usage trends, and how they compare to those of their peers, and how they can use them to better understand their resource usage.
