Abstract

The library data management system of academic institutions generates and stores data with information on lends, returns and queries made by users daily. This research aims to provide a useful method to transform this data to obtain relevant knowledge for the management of the library. The process used consisted of a data pre-processing, data transformation and cleaning, and finally the use of privacy and association algorithms. We clarify the proposed method for a university library in Peru where significant results were obtained in the form of association rules. This shows that it is a efficient alternative to have a more detailed knowledge to make better decisions.
