LibInsight @ FIU

Connect a LibGuides site with LibInsight to automatically fetch top-level statistics.

In this course, you'll learn to set up and manage a Reference Dataset configured for aggregate data. Reference Datasets can be used to store either aggregate data or individual transactions, where each entry is an individual interaction with a patron. In order to configure the dataset, you'll set up a data sync with LibAnswers or configure the dataset for manually entered records. In addition to dataset configuration, this course covers recording data, analyzing data, and managing records. You'll also learn about comparing data from one dataset to another.

In this course, you'll learn to set up and manage a Reference Dataset configured for individual transactions. Reference Datasets can be used to store either aggregate data or individual transactions, where each entry is an individual interaction with a patron. In addition to configuring the dataset and its fields, this course also covers recording data, analyzing data, and managing records. You'll also learn about comparing data from one dataset to another and ways for data to be added to the dataset outside of LibInsight.

The Datasets page will display a filterable and sortable list of all of the datasets you have access to. Each will include shortcuts for recording and/or analyzing data (depending upon your permissions).

The LibGuides dataset allows you to analyze the total number of public page views, user sessions (if you have CMS), and published vs. total guides for your LibGuides system. This includes: A breakdown of public page views and sessions by month or year. The distribution of public page views and sessions by day of the week, weekend vs. weekday, and month. Trends in your public page views and user sessions over time, with year-over-year comparisons. The ratio of published guides vs. total guides over time

In this course, you'll learn to set up and use a LibGuides Dataset. While granular guide and asset data is always available to review within a LibGuides site, you may fetch and automatically sync data within a LibGuides dataset in LibInsight so that you can view trends and compare it to other data collected in LibInsight.

The Reference dataset gives you the flexibility to track your reference data in one of three ways: You can connect to your LibAnswers system to automatically keep track of the number of tickets, SMS messages, LibChat sessions, and Chatbot sessions with your patrons, as well as the number of FAQ views in your system. You can keep track of the aggregate number of tickets/questions, SMS messages, chats, chatbot sessions, and/or FAQ views from another reference system. You can keep track of individual reference questions, with data such as the question asked, the answer provided, who answered the question, and more.

The Cross Dataset Analysis tool allows you to compare up to 4 variables from one or more datasets. This can provide some really useful insight for seeing trends across services or resources over time.
