How do we collect data? Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) M2M way of gathering statistics Replaces the user-mediated collection of usage reports SUSHI server to gather data from JUSP http://www.flickr.com/photos/ragingwire/3395161474/
What data are we collecting? COUNTER usage reports JR1 Journal Report 1: Number of Successful Full-Text Article Requests by Month and Journal JR1a Journal Report 1a: Number of Successful Full-Text Article Requests from an Archive by Month and Journal http://www.flickr.com/photos/bionicteaching/2920562020/
Helping to judge the value of a deal JUSP enhancements: • Adding subscribed or core titles • What titles are in the deal?
Adding subscribed or core titles • How much are the subscribed titles being used? • How much are other titles in the deal being used? • Does usage show that the deal offers better value than individual subscribed titles?
What titles are in the deal? Accounting for nil usage • Does the JR1 report contain titles that are not available in the collection the library subscribes to? • Does the JR1 report contain titles that are no longer part of the current deal e.g. name changes, publisher changes?
How many titles are in the deal? Project Muse JR1 for 2011 for a library with the Basic Research Collection– 59% of titles in the JR1 are not in the library’s deal and will show nil use.
Futuredevelopments • Continuing to develop JUSP with help from community • Adding more e-journal publishers • Pilot studies on adding other e-resources • Sustainability models • Consultancy service
Support We are doing various things to help people use JUSP more effectively: • Developing support materials • Running training events and webinars • Interoperability with other tools
