Usage data for e-collections: What do we want ? What does it mean ?
The Scientific Societies Lecture Theatre, London W1
Wednesday 7th June 2000
A one-day seminar for library and publisher managers and staff responsible for gathering, assessing and managing statistics in the new networked library environment. It will provide librarians and publishers with insights into what statistics could and should be collected, and an opportunity to discuss how this data can be utilised to better manage the electronic library.
Electronic publishing provides, for the first time, a large-scale environment in which the actual usage of scholarly resources can be measured. This seminar addresses what usage data needs to be collected to satisfy the requirements of different constituencies and the purposes to which that usage data can be put, as well as identifying some of the associated pitfalls.
