Abstract

I am a cataloger and back in 2015 I needed to figure out a way to share our numbers in a relevant way to my library director. I have learned to use data to create statistical narratives and use those narratives in many ways to tell stories with data, use data for assessment, visualize data in a meaningful way to make important data-driven decisions and ultimately showcase the value of library work to library stakeholders. I started with cataloging data and in my current position at Columbus State University, as Head of Technical Services, I oversee managing all library-wide statistics, so I have had the opportunity to expand my knowledge and share even more data-driven stories from all areas of the library.
