Data Analytics at Chicago Public Libraries: an update

Chicago Public Library and Data: An Update
At the Chicago Public Libraries, Michelle Frisque is the Chief of Technology, Content & Innovation. In that role, Michelle is chartered with identifying and recognizing information technology trends that will benefit the library and their users, sharing information with colleagues, and then successfully planning for and implementing those new technologies within the system.

Chicago Public Library has recently hired a Chief Operations Analyst, Vig Krishnamurthy. Vig spearheads analytics projects to improve library business practices and manages initiatives to align departmental roles and responsibilities with public service needs. Previously, he worked as a consultant assisting communities in deploying transformative infrastructure projects -- including managing spatial analysis for the roll out of Divvy bikes -- and leading strategic plan processes for city service delivery departments across the United States.

Together Michelle and Vig will talk about how the library uses data today and role data will play in building the library of tomorrow.

Code of Conduct:
We maintain a user group that empowers everyone to learn and to contribute to the study of data and civic life. The Chicago City Data Users Group is considered a safe space. A safe space inspires trust and allows us all to contribute and discover. Discrimination, harassment, and non-inclusive or uncomfortable conditions diminish what we can achieve together.

As such, we do not tolerate harassing or disrespectful behavior, messages, images, or interactions by any event participant, in any form, at any aspect of the program. We do not tolerate any behavior that is degrading to any gender, race, sexual orientation or disability

We encourage everyone to assist in creating a welcoming and safe environment. Please report any concerns, harassing behavior, or suspicious or disruptive activity to the user group organizers, the event host, or the nearest security guard or staff. The Chicago City Data Users Group reserves the right to refuse admittance to, or remove any person from the meetup at any time in its sole discretion.
