Description:

Pair your public library’s usage dataset with demographic visualizations of your community to better inform planning, programming, collections, and marketing outreach efforts. Gale Analytics evolves how libraries do business, allowing users to make more informed decisions that lead to more strategic marketing plans and better outreach.

Ensure that your marketing goals and objectives support households across the area you serve. By integrating powerful demographics, Gale Analytics adds value to existing data—including content from your integrated library system (ILS) and other electronic systems—unlocking key insights about your community to fuel your marketing outreach. Easy to use and share, Tableau Reader dashboards better equip your library and staff to target new populations, create new programs, market library services, and allocate resources more efficiently.

Gale Analytics uses the power of Experian’s Mosaic® USA proprietary household segmentation system to make it easier for librarians to understand their surrounding population. Experian segments households into 71 unique profiles, or Mosaics, which are used to help librarians segment patrons and nonpatrons based on demographic and lifestyle characteristics. Librarians can also skip some time and the stress of preparing data with help from Alteryx workflows, which provide a reusable workflow for self-service data prep and statistical analysis, allowing more time to analyze data. With an easy way to prepare, blend, and visualize data sources, Gale Analytics helps you extract maximum value from your data to better inform your outreach.

Dashboards available for purchase include: Community Insights, Branches, Digital Collections, Physical Collections, and Patron Insights.
