In March we’re going to meet again for a couple of days of lively discussions on how to build library labs.

Follow the discussion on Twitter #buildlibrarylabs

But where do we come from?

attendees <- read_delim("data/report-2019-02-13T1253.csv", delim = ";")

attendees %>% 
  ggplot() +
    theme_economist() +
    geom_bar(aes(x = Prefix)) +
    coord_flip() +
    xlab("") +
    ylab("Number of attendees")

attendees %>% 
  count(`Job Title`) %>% 
  arrange(desc(n))

A lot of different titles. Does it make sense to look at job categories?

attendees %>% 
  mutate(title = str_extract(tolower(`Job Title`), "manager|director|curator|librarian|professor|researcher|coordinator|head|lead|specialist|advisor|officer|engineer|programmer|consultant")) %>% 
  select(title, `Job Title`, Company) %>%
  ggplot() +
    theme_economist() +
    geom_bar(aes(x = title)) +
    coord_flip() +
    xlab("Job category") +
    ylab("Number of attendees")

Some people like word clouds for this sort of data

attendees %>% 
  mutate(title = str_extract(tolower(`Job Title`), "manager|director|curator|librarian|professor|researcher|coordinator|head|lead|specialist|advisor|officer|engineer|programmer|consultant")) %>% 
  select(title, `Job Title`, Company) %>% 
  count(title, sort = TRUE) %>%
  with(wordcloud(title, n, min.freq=1,colors = c("#999999", "#E69F00", "#56B4E9","#56B4E9")))

We come from a lot of different companies and institutions.
