Subject: [lis-e-resources] UKSG Course: Usage Statistics for Decision
Making,
London, 18 November 2010
** Apologies for cross-posting **
A few places remain on this new course offered in London by UKSG:
UKSG Usage Statistics for Decision Making
Thursday 18 November 2010
The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, London
This new one-day seminar from UKSG follows on from the UKSG Usage Statistics
Training Seminar, which has now been running successfully for several years.
Course summary/why you should attend
Libraries have access to more data than ever before about the way that their
electronic resources are being used by readers, and advances in
standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative are making these more
accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making.
At the same time, public sector institutions are being asked to make
extremely difficult choices about priorities for spending. Although this
presents huge challenges, it can also be an impetus to change the ways in
which services are provided.
This seminar offers four case studies on how usage statistics are informing
the decision-making process in real life and gives delegates the chance to
share their own experiences, positive and negative, with using statistics
for
decision making.
Course level and previous knowledge required This course is at
intermediate/advanced level, and aimed at those who already have some
experience of gathering usage statistics. It will be of particular interest
to librarians and library managers working in the further and higher
education sector but may also be of interest to those working in other areas
of the scholarly information industry.
Please note: We also highly recommend the UKSG Usage Statistics Training
Seminar, a practical workshop on gathering and manipulating usage statistics
which is run twice a year.
Learning objectives
Delegates will:
* learn about practical ways that e-journal and e-book usage
statistics have been used by staff in university libraries to inform
decision-making processes
* discuss their own experiences of gathering and manipulating usage
statistics in order to make financial, management, and service decisions.
