Course summary
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.

training seminar attendance will be limited to 30. However, more training
seminars on this topic are being planned for 2007/8.
