Unsub Extender: a Python-based web application for visualizing Unsub data

This article introduces Unsub Extender, a free tool to help libraries analyze their Unsub data export files. Unsub is a collection development dashboard that gathers and forecasts journal-level usage metrics to provide academic libraries with deeper measurements than traditional cost-per-use. Unsub gives libraries richer and more nuanced data to analyze their subscriptions, but it does not include a way to easily visualize the complex and interrelated data points it provides. Unsub Extender (https://unsubextender.lib.iastate.edu) is a free Python-based web application that takes an Unsub export file and automates the creation of interactive plots and visualizations. The tool loads with example data to explore, and users upload their specific Unsub file to quickly populate the pre-made plots with actual data. Graphs are interactive, live-updating, and support zoom, click-and-drag, and hover. Filters are specified through sliders to model scenarios and focus on areas of interest. A drop-down menu allows users to change a journal's decision status, and graphs update automatically. After evaluating journals, users can export the modified dataset to save their decisions. Unsub Extender proposes best practice in analyzing the increasingly common Unsub export file. It simplifies the analysis, eliminates duplication of effort, and enables libraries worldwide to make better, more data-driven decisions.

Unsub Extender:一个基于 Python 的 Web 应用程序,用于可视化 Unsub 数据

本文介绍了 Unsub Extender,这是一个免费工具,可帮助图书馆分析其 Unsub 数据导出文件。Unsub 是一个馆藏开发仪表板,它收集和预测期刊级别的使用指标,为学术图书馆提供比传统的每次使用成本更深入的衡量标准。Unsub 为图书馆提供了更丰富、更细致的数据来分析他们的订阅,但它不包括一种轻松可视化它提供的复杂和相互关联的数据点的方法。Unsub Extender (https://unsubextender.lib.iastate.edu) 是一个免费的基于 Python 的 Web 应用程序,它采用 Unsub 导出文件并自动创建交互式绘图和可视化。该工具加载了示例数据以供探索,用户上传其特定的 Unsub 文件以使用实际数据快速填充预制图。图表是交互式的,实时更新的,并支持缩放、单击并拖动和悬停。通过滑块指定过滤器以对场景进行建模并专注于感兴趣的区域。下拉菜单允许用户更改期刊的决策状态,图表会自动更新。评估期刊后,用户可以导出修改后的数据集以保存他们的决定。Unsub Extender 提出了分析越来越常见的 Unsub 导出文件的最佳实践。它简化了分析,消除了重复工作,并使世界各地的图书馆能够做出更好、更受数据驱动的决策。用户可以导出修改后的数据集以保存他们的决定。Unsub Extender 提出了分析越来越常见的 Unsub 导出文件的最佳实践。它简化了分析,消除了重复工作,并使世界各地的图书馆能够做出更好、更受数据驱动的决策。用户可以导出修改后的数据集以保存他们的决定。Unsub Extender 提出了分析越来越常见的 Unsub 导出文件的最佳实践。它简化了分析,消除了重复工作,并使世界各地的图书馆能够做出更好、更受数据驱动的决策。
