Wisconsin Public Library Consortium Statistics Hackathon at WLA

Want to do some good and have some fun?  Join WiLS for the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium Statistics Hackathon on Thursday, November 5th at 11:00 in the WLA Conference Exhibits Hall!

What is a statistics hackathon?  It's YOUR opportunity to help create templates ​that libraries around the state​ can use to present data about OverDrive usage.
Here's how it will work:

  • We'll have a list of OverDrive statistics that would benefit from a chart or other visualization.
  • You'll grab data for that statistic from OverDrive Marketplace (we'll help you do that!)​.​ 
  • You'll make a visualization for that data (and you can attend our visualization workshop series on Wednesday to learn how!)​.​ 
  • We'll work together to take that visualization and convert it into a template that other libraries can use. 

The goal of the hackathon is to have charts or other visualizations as templates to share among all libraries in the state.

We look forward to seeing you there!  Contact wplc-info@wils.org with any questions.
