LLAMA webinar series explores data warehouses in academic libraries

If your academic library is planning to build a data warehouse, you can learn what works best and how to avoid common pitfalls by hearing from librarians who have experience with this complex process. The Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA) will present “Stories from Inside the Data Warehouse,” on July 21, August 5, and September 9.  This three-part webinar series will feature 10 panelists who will share their unique perspectives, experiences, and insights.

Participants will:

● Discover other institutions who are in various stages of a library data warehouse building
project
● Learn about the practical and the philosophical issues faced by other academic libraries
● Identify your institutional ecosystem’s strengths and areas for growth toward building or

completing a data warehouse
● Formulate your own data warehouse building next steps

This webinar addresses several of LLAMA’s Foundational Leadership Competencies including: collaboration and partnerships, evidence-based decision making, ethics, project-management, assessment, and technology management.
