[LIBRARYDIR] Anyone else using LibAnalytics?

[Ferrari, Ahniwa]

Hi Jane,

I am very happy with the reporting. You can get all the info you want out of the backend in my experience. The front-end (form) is far more customizable than Gimlet, which was always my issue with that tool.

Happy to share more info or answer other questions.

Bellingham uses Gimlet, but I'm interested that you say that LibAnalytics is free. Are the reports you can run on your data similar to Gimlet's.

Hi everyone,

I did a survey of different desk stats tools back when I was working at Saint Martin's, and we ended up using LibAnalytics there after trying out a number of choices. One of the changes I've made since starting at GHC is doing away with the pen and paper desk stats clipboard we were using, and implementing this tool at both reference and circulation desks. It helps that it's free.

We have been adjusting the form on the fly as we opened this week, but now have it more or less tuned to our needs for both circulation and reference service points.

Just thought I'd share, and see if anyone else is using LibAnalytics or another desk stats tool in their libraries.

Here's a screenshot:

Best,
