This document summarizes the Library Analytics Toolkit project at Harvard Library Lab. The toolkit allows users to navigate between subject areas and view circulation trends and statistics over time to help with collection development decisions. The initial phase focused on collection data but future expansions are planned to include expenditure data and other metrics. The goal is to provide a single dashboard for real-time library analytics to facilitate data-driven decision making.
