Data warehouse para el Centro de Documentación Regional "Juan Bautista Vázquez"
(2014) Haro Valle, Valeria Alexandra; Pérez Rocano, Wilson Rodrigo; Saquicela Galarza, Víctor Hugo
The decision-making process in academic libraries is paramount; however highlycomplicated due to the large number of data sources, processes and high volumes ofdata to be analyzed. Academic libraries are accustomed to producing and gatheringa vast amount of statistics about their collection and services. Typical data sourcesinclude integrated library systems, library portals and online catalogues, and systemsof consortiums and quality surveys. Unfortunately, these heterogeneous datasources are only partially used for decision-making processes due to the wide varietyof formats, standards and technologies, as well as the lack of efficient methods ofintegration. This thesis presents the analysis, design and implement of Data Warehousefor an academic library Juan Bautista Vázquez". Firstly, an appropriatemethodology documented in a previous study is used for data collection. This methodology incorporates key elements including process analysis, quality estimation, information relevance and user interaction that may influence a library decision. Based on the above mentioned approach, this study defines a set of queries of interestto be issued against the integrated system proposed. Then, relevant data sources,formats and connectivity requirements for a particular example are identified. Next,Data Warehouse architecture is proposed to integrate, process, and store the collecteddata transparently. Eventually, the stored data are analyzed through reportingtechniques of analytical processing and prototype of Bibliomining. By doing so, thethesis provides the design of an integrated solution that assists library managers tomake tactical decisions about the optimal use and leverage of their resources and ofservices.

In recent years, volume of library-related data has increased tremendously, as well as complexity of data sources and formats have been escalating. This information explosion has created a big challenge for data managing, archiving and accessing, especially in support of library decision-making. Knowing that a good library management involves integrating a number of strategic indicators, the implementation of a Data Warehouse (DW), that properly manages such amount of information and the complex mix of data sources, becomes an interesting alternative to be considered. This article describes the design and implementation of a decision support system based on a DW approach for the Regional Documentation Centre “Juan Bautista Vazquez”. To assure that all relevant data sources are included during the data analysis, the study utilizes a holistic methodology, previously proposed by Siguenza-Guzman et al. (2014) for an integrated library evaluation. This methodology assesses the library collection and services by incorporating important elements for library management, such as service performance analysis, service quality control, collection usage analysis, and information retrieval quality. Based on this data analysis, the study proposes a DW architecture to integrate, process and store the relevant data. These stored data are finally analyzed and visualized by the so-called online analytical processing (OLAP) tools. Initial tests of the implemented decision support system confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of the DW based approach, by successfully integrating multiple and heterogeneous sources, formats and varieties of information, permitting library managers to generate personalized reports, and even allowing to debug the day-to-day transactional processes.

In modern work environment,“Technologies of Computation and Networks”(CNT) and “Information and Communication Technology”(ICT) have changed the way we access and produce information thereby creating the need for professionals with ICT skills. However, there is critical mass of people aged between 25 and 29 who are unemployed and only use boot camps to acquire these skills. This mode of study often requires external help to allow students reach their goal. To overcome this limitation, this article shows a dashboard with different metrics to monitor user’s activity and the student can take decisions during the course. It also creates a self-regulating culture based on data to allow success in the course and facilitate student’s incorporation into the job market.
