Abstract
Over the past three years, the Library and Learning Resources team at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) have worked on a project to consolidate data across the service using Microsoft PowerBI. The project was initiated to address inconsistencies in reporting and improve measurement of service impact. Before this work, our data collection was siloed and ad-hoc, relying heavily on our Alma Library Management System which primarily captures data on collection usage and does not represent our full range of services such as digital skills provision, open access compliance, and interactions with our specialist and front line staff. We aimed to create a consistent and comprehensive in-house reporting solution that would aid us in the performance measurement of a broader range of services beyond usage of our collections, using existing tools available to us at no additional cost. This presentation will outline our experience and progress in the first three years of the project.
