数据可视化使图书馆员能够更好地管理、探索和呈现整个图书馆组织中不同个人收集的信息。本文讨论了俄亥俄州州立大学图书馆使用Tableau（一款复杂的数据可视化和快速分析软件）进行的实验。Tableau允许图书馆员混合和利用从多个不同来源收集的数据，包括事务日志、Google Analytics和电子资源使用报告。本文提供了将数据可视化纳入俄亥俄州州立大学图书馆评估计划的背景，并分享了为两个数据分析项目创建的可视化示例。阐述和探讨了混合和同时查看来自多个来源的数据的可视化的好处。文章最后简短讨论了未来可能使用Tableau Desktop可视化图书馆数据的项目。
Data visualization offers librarians the ability to better manage, explore, and present information collected by various individuals throughout a library organization. This article discusses The Ohio State University Libraries experiments with Tableau, a sophisticated data visualization and rapid analytics software. Tableau allows librarians to blend and leverage data collected from a number of disparate sources, including transaction logs, Google Analytics, and e-resource usage reports. The article provides context for incorporating data visualization into the Ohio State University Libraries’ assessment program and shares examples of visualizations created for two data analysis projects. The benefits of blending and simultaneously viewing visualizations of data from multiple sources are articulated and explored. The article concludes with a short discussion of potential future projects for visualizing library data using Tableau Desktop.
