Creating a TexShare e-Resources Usage Data Dashboard for Texas Libraries

Libraries are required to maintain data on every service they provide. But though libraries are increasingly expected to supply electronic content in addition to physical, the time and expertise required to collect and process e-resource usage data from a dozen different sources remains beyond the staff capabilities of many smaller libraries: both public and academic. To aid these libraries, I worked with the TexShare Databases program to develop workflows to automate the cleanup of their statewide consortial usage reports and display the data in an online dashboard where libraries can access it in one place, as a single standardized report.
