In our previous session, we focused on what usage statistics are and how to collect them.  Now that you’ve got your data, what can you *do* with it?  This session takes the next step in this series by exploring options for storing usage data and guiding attendees through a series of potential options to put that data to work.  We’ll give an overview of 3 major usage areas—analyzing, sharing, and re-purposing—and the tools and tips appropriate for each to help you get started.

More often, library staff members in all types of environments are being asked to employ data-driven decision-making methods.  But, this can be a new and daunting prospect for many who just aren't sure where to start.  In this two-part series, we will explore the research process and its history, why we value it, and what it might look like in real-world scenarios.
