Academic libraries rely on data from multiple vendor platforms, yet reporting workflows are often manual, fragmented, and time-consuming. This session shares the development of a semi-automated assessment dashboard that integrates data across systems to streamline reporting and improve transparency. The presentation will outline practical steps for auditing available data, establishing a sustainable extraction process, and designing dashboards that support both internal planning and public reporting. The presentation will emphasize decision-making, tool selection, and workflow design that can scale across different institutional contexts. Attendees will learn how to leverage different tools to reduce annual reporting preparation time, strengthen shared understanding of library impact, and support more consistent data practices. Considerations related to data governance and ethical use will also be addressed.
