Following Up

We held a follow-up meeting in November 2022 to check in. Since several people had mentioned data visualization, we shared a video on that: https://mediaspace.minnstate.edu/media/Data+Visualization/1_nvzp4kpz

Seven of our participants shared progress such as:

• Started a weekly data snapshot for administrators
• Arranged for a library staff member to sit on the Institutional Effectiveness Team
• Pulled reference desk data and formatted into pivot tables
• Exploring development of a library dashboard
• Started a textbook affordability initiative

Johnna and Jill noticed how people struggled to acknowledge that they’re making progress. We heard a lot of, “Oh, I haven’t had time to do much,” but look at all of the work that’s happening!

The group said that they wanted to meet again in March 2023 to touch base and share progress. We hope to continue to meet as long as it’s useful for the cohort.
