The Jisc Library Analytics and Metrics project (JiscLAMP) is working to enable libraries to capitalise on the many types of data they capture in day-to-day activities. Leveraging this data means that libraries can gain insight into the usage of their collections across the institution, enabling the strategic development of collections, and the ability to demonstrate value and impact in compelling ways. In this session we will present the prototype of a shared library analytics service, share the key challenges and opportunities emerging from this work in the UK and internationally with developments in Australia and the US, and discuss with delegates the strategic implications.

Analytics are increasingly being used to uncover new narratives and demonstrate new types of value and impact for libraries and their institutions. This section will explore some of the current opportunities that institutions are exploiting with the use of analytics and the innovative services and tools they are developing.
