LibInsight from SpringShare (more famous for LibGuides) is a tool used by many libraries to report a wide range of library activities. This _2021 IUG Virtual Conference_ session, presented by Rob Behary of Duquesne University, describes how to incorporate circulation transaction data from Sierra using SQL, upload the transactions into LibInsight, and built a suite of dashboards to share charts and graphs among library staff. The process is important as a way of both making staff aware of circulation activities for potential process improvement, and making data visible to library administrators for management decision making processes.
