Webinar zu Release 5 des COUNTER Code of PracticeLorraine Estelle
Als Standard für Nutzungsstatistiken elektronischer Ressourcen erhält der COUNTER Code of Practice[1] mit Release 5 eine neue Struktur. Neue Reports und Metriken werden die Genauigkeit der Nutzungsstatistiken für elektronische Ressourcen verbessern. Release 5 des Code of Practice ist ab Januar 2019 gültig und für alle COUNTER-zertifizierten Anbieter verpflichtend.
Im Webinar bieten wir einen Überblick über die neuen Metriken, erläutern die neuen Reports und geben Beispiele, wie diese zur Evaluierung des eigenen Portfolios elektronischer Ressourcen genutzt werden können. Während des Webinars können Fragen gestellt werden, die wir entweder direkt oder im Nachgang beantworten werden. Ebenso freuen wir uns über Ihr Feedback zu Release 5. Zwei Mitglieder des COUNTER Executive Committees werden das Webinar in deutscher Sprache durchführen.
Das Webinar richtet sich sowohl an Bibliothekare, die bereits Erfahrungen mit COUNTER-Statistiken haben und sich auf das neue Release vorbereiten möchten, als auch an Mitarbeiter von Anbietern elektronischer Produkte, die mit der Erstellung von Anbietern elektronischer Produkte, die mit der Erstellung von Nutzungsstatistiken nach COUNTER befasst sind.
Das Webinar wird durchgeführt von:
Irene Barbers, Leiterin des Fachbereichs Literaturerwerbung in der Zentralbibliothek des Forschungszentrum Jülich. Sie ist verantwortlich für den Betrieb und die Weiterentwicklung des Jülicher Electronic Resource Management Systems und für die Auswertung von Nutzungsstatistiken.
Bernd Oberknapp, Gesamtleitung ReDI (gemeinsame Betriebseinrichtung des Konsortiums Baden-Württemberg) an der Universitätsbibliothek Freiburg. ReDI bietet Dienstleistungen für über 100 wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken. Bernd Oberknapp arbeitet am Nationalen Statistikserver mit und ist an der Entwicklung des Electronic Resource Management Systems LAS:eR beteiligt.
Irene Barbers und Bernd Oberknapp sind Mitglieder im COUNTER Executive Committee und in der COUNTER R5 Technical Working Group

COUNTER’s team of volunteer experts have developed Release
5 of the COUNTER Code of Practice. They have designed fewer
but more flexible usage reports and a reduced number of metric
types with the aim of greater consistency and clarity. Release 5
seeks to address changing needs and to ensure that all publishers
and content providers can achieve compliance. This session will
explain the new release and answer questions from stakeholders.
In July, COUNTER will publish the Release 5 of the Code of Practice. This webinar will describe the new master reports which are at the heart of the new Code of Practice. It will explain the metrics and attributes and the standard views from the master reports. Finally, it will explain the timeline for publisher compliance and the tools and guides which will enable content providers and librarians prepare for the effective date for Release 5.
This presentation by Kornelia Junge, explains the COUNTER Code of Practice Release 5. It describes why it was necessary to develop Release 5 which is effect in January 2019, and the development process. It goes on to describe the key features of Release 5 including Metric Types, Attributes and report formats.
As libraries move to become centers of digital collections, maintaining information on the usage of these collections is ever more critical. It's also essential to be able to maintain common measures across heterogeneous collections, in order to be able to effectively analyze how the library's collection dollars are being spent. The Project COUNTER Code of Practice and the SUSHI protocol aid in this work. This session will explore the newly-published Release 4 of the COUNTER Code of Practice for e-Resources and highlight its use in conjunction with the SUSHI (Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative) protocol in an active library environment.

presentation at ALA Annual 2016 ALCTS/LITA Electronic Resources Management Interest Group panel “Making it count: Usage statistics and electronic resources management.”
With ever-shrinking library budgets it is more essential than ever to ensure that the library collection is targeted, relevant and well-used. Return on Investment (ROI) has become the mantra of library management and libraries need to show accountability for collection decisions. This webinar will focus on speakers who have successfully implemented assessment metrics (such as COUNTER 3, Eigenfactor and impact factors) as one determining factor of collection development decisions.

Irene Barbers Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbHCOUNTER’s new Code of Practice was effective from January 2019. This breakout session will explain how librarians can make effective use of the new metrics to support decision making. It will explain how librarians can use these new reports to: Understand user behaviours; perform cost per use calculations on the articles they have paid for, compare book usage across different e-book platforms, investigate usage of A&I databases and full text databases; and evaluate usage of open access content. The session will also explain how COUNTER is ensuring compliance with the new Code of Practice, and how librarians can confidently tell if a publisher or vendor is compliant.
About the Webinar
In a time of shrinking budgets and growing reliance on electronic resources, the collection and analysis of usage statistics has become a staple of the library world. But while usage statistics may be ubiquitous, many librarians still struggle with the best methods of interpreting the data. The ability to effectively understand and apply usage data is an important skill for librarians to master as they attempt to analyze their collections and justify their expenses to administrations.
This webinar will highlight the ins and outs of COUNTER, as well as discuss the process of analyzing the data once harvested.Introductions

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

This attribute is in filtering for Standard Views and
Master Reports and is included in Book Usage by Access
Type and Journal Usage by Access Type Standard Views.
It’s primary role is to differential usage of gold open
access content from content that requires a license.
OA_Delayed is content that became open access after
an embargo period had expired.

33. Release 5
Zero Usage
Not all content providers are able to include zero usage titles in their
reports
Zero usage is not a requirement for COUNTER compliance; but, content
providers can still include zero usage in their Master Title Report if their
systems are capable.
COUNTER is encouraging content providers to provide an institution’s
holdings (what they can access) in the form of a KBART file, and, to comply
with the recommendations of the NISO KBART-Automation working group
when they come out and provide a way to automate the harvesting
COUNTER expects content providers to use the same title identifiers on
both reports to facilitate accurate matching.
COUNTER envisions ERMs being able to more accurately represent usage
and holdings
Community-created free tools (as simple as a Macro-enabled Excel file)
would be able to harvest usage and entitlements from a single content
provider and perform the desired analysis with just one click
38. Release 5
Consortium
Reports as
Separate
Reports
Due to size, creating and consuming R4
consortium reports was not always possible

administrators with the ability to generating
consolidate usage reports for the consortium
