SUSHI
»Every report undergoes visual, manual and automatic checks
»No data are added to JUSP without passing every check
»Data are never altered but anomalies may be flagged
»JUSP has its own SUSHI service providing access to quality-
assured data for incorporation in 3rd party products/ERMs

How libraries use JUSP
Jo Alcock

How libraries use JUSP
“obtaining usage data for multiple
platforms when doing the SCONUL Return
and conducting serials/subscription
reviews”
17

How libraries use JUSP
“Checking stats for our annual journals
review - stats help the library and
Faculty staff to assess value based on
CPU* (although this is not the sole
indicator used.)”
*cost per use
18

How libraries use JUSP
“I look at the reports on JUSP 2 or 3 times a
year to get an indicator of how much
journals across my Faculty are being used
and report any concerns to relevant
academics.”
19

How libraries use JUSP
“I use JUSP to generate statistics such (as)
most used titles and most used publishers. I
display these on our website, to promote e-
resource usage to university staff and
students. ”

individual title search?
How is marking up core titles useful?
What are the limitations?
23

Discussion on journal usage statistics
What reports do/would you find most
useful for determining overall usage of a
deal and why?
What other information would you use
to inform any decisions?
24

Discussion on journal usage statistics
How would/do you use the JUSP
SCONUL return report in your
preparation for the SCONUL return?
If you don’t submit to the SCONUL
return, how might you use this summary
report?
25

Discussion on journal usage statistics
What steps would you take if you found
anomalies in your data? For example, a
