The Georgia Library Association Carterette Series Webinars presents

What Do Users Want?  Exploring Discovery Analytics with Python and AI

Wednesday, September 30, 2026
2pm Eastern (11am Pacific | 12pm Mountain | 1pm Central)
Cost: Free

Description: As the NC State University Libraries prepared for a big migration, we started to wonder: how do users really engage with discovery? To find answers, we took a deep dive into analytics with help from Python, Github, Copilot, and ChatGPT. This presentation will describe the process used and insights gained.

• Understand trends in use of library discovery tools.
• Identify the types of analytics data that can be useful to review.
• Understand the fundamentals of using AI tools to help support data analysis and visualization using Python.

About the Presenter:

Kristen Wilson is the Discovery Systems Manager at North Carolina State University Libraries. She leads the team responsible for development and support of the Libraries’ core software including the integrated library system, discovery, ILL and physical space reservations. She occasionally dabbles in Python programming.
