2. Context
» Rising cost of e-resources vs
institutional and consortial
budget constraints
» Data for:
› Assessing ROI
› Evaluating content
› Reporting
› Demonstrating impact
› Marketing & promotion
› Understanding usage
patterns and trend
forecasting

3. Challenges
» Access
› data collection and collation is
time consuming
» Analysis
› data is inaccurate, unreliable,
incomparable, inconsistent, &
lacking context
» Report
› timely reporting
› communications/engagement By Berrios , CC BY 2.0, https://flic.kr/p/5iWKS3

4. Opportunities
»COUNTER standard
›Supporting consistent,
credible, comparable usage
data
»Effective (& automated)
tools built on standard to
streamline work processes
and optimise people time

6. Journal Usage Statistics Portal (JUSP)
›Access: Quality assured,
COUNTER-compliant usage data
presented via simple, intuitive
reports with export options for
further analysis
›Analyse: Track usage, analyse
trends over time, compare &
benchmark
›Report: Create reports to monitor
and communicate performance and
ROI at the touch of a button

substitutions
»Evaluation
›Packages & purchasing
models
»Value and impact

12. JUSP: data to support new insights
»Rationale
»Libraries increasingly data-driven
»Data vis used to support broader
understanding and analysis
»Previous visualisations limited
flexibility and functionality
»Opportunities to support HEI
processes
»Feedback
»Alternative means of querying data
»Engaging new audiences
»Interactive and flexible

13. Institutional Repository Usage Statistics (IRUS-UK)
»A national aggregation service, enabling
IRs to share/expose usage statistics at the
individual item level, based on a global
standard – COUNTER
»Collect raw download data from IRs for
all item types within repositories
»Process those raw data into COUNTER-
conformant statistics
