Seminar: Usage statistics - measuring the value of online resource

Monday 3 July 2006, venue to be confirmed, Edinburgh

Do you keep usage statistics for all the electronic resources you subscribe to? Are these figures comparable to what the providers of the databases says your organisation uses? If not, how will you agree?

Come along to our July 3rd event and hear about how Project COUNTER is changing the way in which the usage - and perhaps the value - of information is being considered. With the help of Peter Shepherd, Project Director of COUNTER and Liz Stevenson, Electronic Resources Librarian at the University of Edinburgh we'll take a look at the history behind the project, its successes in engaging with key stakeholders and hear a little about how it's shaking things up for practitioners in terms of measuring use of electronic resources.
