Connecting the dots: gaining insights by creating and exploring data analysis and visualization tools
Wednesday May 7, 2025 1:00pm - 1:45pm CDT
Collecting data about our work can lead to new insights—especially when it's easy to explore and share. After tracking 4 years of digital archives processing activities and 10 years of file format inventories (including MDL content), we built data visualization dashboards for on-the-fly analysis. We will discuss the collaborative and iterative process of setting up our data sources and building these dashboards in Tableau, and how the interactive visualizations led to new discoveries and reporting efficiencies.
