Overview Measuring the Impact of Networked Electronic Services (MINES): an online, transaction-based survey that collects data on the purpose of use of electronic resources and on the demographics of users. Short, 5 question web survey that is delivered at the point of use, every 250 times an e-journal, or ebook is accessed from Scholars Portal. Survey included all OCUL schools except U of T, Algoma, and OCAD and ran Feb 2010 - Feb2011
MINES for Libraries A short web-based survey that intercepts a user as they attempt to access an electronic resource. Patron status: faculty, grad, undergrad Affiliation: department Location: in library, on campus, off campus Purpose of use: funded/non-funded research, teaching, coursework Why they chose: important resource, recommended, reading list
Why OCUL Turned to MINES • To capture in-library and remote web usage of the OCUL Libraries eresources • To identify the demographic differences between in-house library users as compared to remote users • To identify users’ purposes for accessing OCUL’s electronic services • To develop an evaluation infrastructure to make studies of patron usage of networked electronic resources routine, robust, and integrated into the decision-making process.
OCUL MINES 2004 vs 2010 OCUL I : 2004 • Randomly selected 2 hour periods each month for a year • Mandatory OCUL II: 2010 • SFX as delivery mechanism • Systematic sampling (every nth) • Mandatory and optional versions • Additional question: contact pool
