A few folks -- both at the Evergreen conference and in my own library -- have talked about incorporating data dashboards into Evergreen. Here is a discussion of how data dashboards differ from reports: https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/103146/what-is-the-difference-between-a-dashboard-and-a-report
Basically, a dashboard would be easy to access, very visual, and be limited to what might fit in one screen.
I mentioned the idea to some colleagues, and they told me some types of acquisitions-related information they might want to see at a glance:
* How spending in a particular fund for the current fiscal year (or shelving location or call number range) stacks up to average spending in that fund/location/range.
* % of fund spent
* % of line items that have been received, cancelled, still on-order, backordered -- by provider maybe?
But I'm sure others have lots of good ideas as well! :-)
