No, We Don’T Just Read Books All Day. Developing The Statistical Narrative/Infographic For Technical Services, Amy B. Parsons Aug 2016

No, We Don’T Just Read Books All Day. Developing The Statistical Narrative/Infographic For Technical Services, Amy B. Parsons

Faculty Bibliography

This poster illustrates the development of statistical narratives for the work that is done in cataloging and technical services. Our work is behind the scenes but we do the technical work that transforms ordinary books into library books with access points for discoverability. Using infographics, tech services staff can illustrate the quality, quantity, and value of our important work in the library.


No, We Don’T Just Read Books All Day… Developing Statistical Narratives/Infographics For Technical Services, Amy B. Parsons Aug 2016

No, We Don’T Just Read Books All Day… Developing Statistical Narratives/Infographics For Technical Services, Amy B. Parsons

Library Faculty & Staff Scholarship

This poster is an example of the work I have created using cataloging statistics from Sierra, Google Sheets, and Excel. The graphs illustrate the number of books I have cataloged and discarded throughout a span of years. The graphs tell a story with the numbers. This is called a statistical narrative. These stories can be created by any library department and ultimately allow outsiders, and constituents to see the value of the academic library.

How Do You Count That?: Statistical Reporting Of Online Library Instruction Activities, Tim Bottorff, Andrew Todd Jul 2016

How Do You Count That?: Statistical Reporting Of Online Library Instruction Activities, Tim Bottorff, Andrew Todd

Andrew Todd

Until recent years, library instruction (LI) was usually conducted in face-to-face (F2F) settings. Statistical reporting of LI activities tends, therefore, to focus on measures relevant to F2F settings -- for example, the number of "sessions" (classes) and the number of "participants" (students). However, newer forms of LI conducted in the online realm (from librarians embedded in classes through courseware, to online library tutorials, to for-credit online library research courses, and beyond) may be difficult to count in traditional ways, with significant implications: the way librarians quantify their activities can affect everything from advocacy efforts to funding decisions to individual or …
