Usage Statistics Training Seminar

Edinburgh
Tuesday 19 September 2006, The University of Edinburgh

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.

Please note: In order to allow participants hands-on experience at this training seminar attendance will be limited to 20. However, more training seminars on this topic are being planned, with the next one scheduled for Oxford on 30 November 2006.
