Welcome to the WPLC Data Use Toolkit
Public libraries collect and interact with data every day, from circulation statistics to community demographics. Learning how to use that data effectively can help libraries better understand their communities and demonstrate their impact. This toolkit is laid out in a progressive order, but feel free to move around to the areas you are most interested in.
Disclaimer: Prolonged use of this toolkit may result in becoming a full-blown data nerd. Side effects may include a sudden urge to analyze everything.
