LibInsight @ FIU

LibInsight allows you to create and set up an unlimited number of datasets to collect and analyze data for all aspects of your library. There are a variety of pre-built datasets that focus on e-resources usage, circulation and acquisition analytics, budget analysis, and gate counts. In addition to the pre-built datasets, you are also able to create your own custom dataset for your own unique data-gathering needs. LibInsight's custom datasets can handle any number of fields and field types, form layouts, report variations, etc. -- enabling you to define specific fields and data points relevant to your library's statistics scenarios.

Setting up your datasets can be a collaborative effort, especially if you'll have multiple staff members managing datasets, recording data, and running analysis. Just keep in mind as you're setting up your datasets that system admins and regular-level users that have been given permission to define and administer a dataset are the only people who can manage each dataset's settings. All other regular users will only be able to add records and use the dataset in analysis and dashboards if they've been given permission to do so. With this level of dataset-specific permission control, you'll want to make sure your staff all have the necessary access to your datasets.
