UKSG and COUNTER are pleased to be able to bring this training day to
Edinburgh:
Usage Statistics Training Seminar
Tuesday 19 September 2006
The University of Edinburgh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This one-day training seminar, one of a series organised by UKSG and Project
COUNTER, will give a practical hands-on introduction to accessing,
collating, utilising, presenting, and marketing e-resource usage statistics,
both COUNTER-compliant and otherwise. The latest news on COUNTER activities
will also be presented, and experts from different sectors will provide
their perspectives on the role and importance of usage statistics. Future
developments in the provision and exploitation of use measurement statistics
will also be covered.
Please note: In order to allow participants hands-on experience at this
training seminar attendance will be limited to 20. However, more training
seminars on this topic are being planned, with the next one scheduled for
Oxford on 30 November 2006.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Those attending are invited to consult the Project COUNTER website
(www.projectcounter.org <http://www.projectcounter.org/> ) in advance,
although the COUNTER Codes, etc. will be fully covered during the seminar.
Please note: In order to get most benefit from the hands-on session,
participants should have a basic working knowledge of Excel: advanced
knowledge is not required.
