Book excerpt: As academic libraries evolve in the digital age, the need for effective data collection and analysis has become increasingly important in assessing their impact and enhancing their services. Exploring digital metrics in academic libraries involves leveraging technology to track and measure a variety of activities, from resource usage and user engagement to the effectiveness of digital collections and services. These metrics provide valuable insights into how students, faculty, and researchers interact with library resources, enabling libraries to make data-driven decisions that improve access, support learning, and optimize operations. By embracing digital metrics, academic libraries can not only demonstrate their value to stakeholders but also adapt to the changing needs of the academic community in an increasingly digital world. Exploring Digital Metrics in Academic Libraries discusses the changes needed to transform libraries and information science education and training. It explores avenues to adopt, implement and utilize the emerging digital library and all other available new technologies and their applications in library systems, models, policies, and mechanisms. This book covers topics such as cloud computing, higher education, and smart technology, and is a useful resource for computer engineers, librarians, data scientists, academicians, and researchers.
