Visualizing Province-wide Public Library Transaction Data with Elastic Stack

Dale Storie & Scott Murray from the Saskatchewan Information & Library Services Consortium

To make our public library consortium’s statistical data more engaging, we used Elastic Stack (Logstash, Elastic Search and Kibana) to index and visualize transactional data from our ILS. Now we can view real-time activity for over 300 libraries using graphs and heatmaps, with future potential for aggregating more data sources.
