The culmination of the first phase of a project integrating library usage data provided by the University Libraries with University records was presented last week at the Library Technology Conference hosted by Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. This project combined the Fall 2011 library usage data with demographics and aggregated student success metrics, included term GPA and retention data to quantify the impact of the University Libraries. Krista Soria and David Peterson from OIR provided initial analysis and Andrea Galliger provided institutional data.
More about the presentation can be found on the Macalester Digital Commons site.
It is great hearing about the culmination of such a project as the one related to the usage of library data and the collaboration between so many organizations. The digital libraries are the future by no means!
