A collection analysis tool that assists libraries in analyzing their journal subscriptions
unsub
unsub is a collection analysis tool that assists libraries in analyzing their journal subscriptions. The tool provides rich data and a summary graph, but more detailed analysis tends to take place off the site in an exported .csv file that allows for filtering, notes, and additional visualization.
This project, unsub extender, is a Python script that takes an unsub data export file and automates useful plots and visualizations for a collection analysis team to explore. The graphs are interactive through Altair and support zoom, pan, and hover, and filters in the left sidebar help set parameters to quickly narrow in on obvious titles to KEEP or CANCEL. The Python code is turned into a web app using Streamlit.
