CARLI Resource Sharing in our New Age: Two Libraries using Alma Analytics for IPEDS and ACRL Reporting Data

The CARLI Resource Sharing committee presents "CARLI Resource Sharing in our New Age” a monthly discussion. In February, the topic will be “Two Libraries using Alma Analytics for IPEDS and ACRL Reporting Data.”

The CARLI Resource Sharing Committee's February Discussion focused on using Alma Analytics reports and dashboards to crosswalk data from Alma Analytics reports and dashboards to the needed data for ACRL and IPEDS reporting agencies.

Lisa Wallis from Northeastern Illinois University demonstrated a data crosswalk of ACRL data to Alma Analytics reports and dashboards, and Shelly McDavid, from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, demonstrated a crosswalk of IPEDS data to Alma Analytics reports and dashboards. Each presenter underscored the importance of involving the correct people at your library to ensure a clear baseline of understanding of backend set-ups, as well as the reality that not all reported data is found in Alma and will need to be gathered by others within your library. Importance was stressed on reviewing and understanding the ACRL and IPEDS reporting agencies data point definitions to ensure your data is accurate and has integrity.
