SUMMARY:UKSG Usage Data for Decision Making online seminar 2023
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is aimed at those responsible for collecting\, analysing and making recommendations based on usage data\, whether in a library setting or within a publishing organisation. This online seminar will take place over two days 26th (13:00 start) & 27th September (9:30 start)\, for more details please visit the programme section below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, September 26\, 2023 – 13:00toWednesday\, September 27\, 2023 – 12:30 BST \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nUnfortunately registrations are now closed to be put on the waitlist should any become available click here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Summary \n\n\n\n\n\nThose with a responsibility for overseeing the management of library collections have more access than ever to statistical data to assist with evaluation and to justify return on investment\, and enhancement of the user experience. Understanding the library’s use of this data is also vital for publishers.   Advances in standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative have made statistics more accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making. \n\n\n\nIncreasingly\, libraries are being asked to make extremely difficult decisions about the priorities for their spending within a strategic context.  Although this presents huge challenges\, it can also be an impetus to change the ways in which services are provided. Publishers need to be aware of what statistics librarians are looking at and how they are being used to inform collection development. \n\n\n\nThis seminar provides illustrations by expert decision makers on how statistics are used to make strategic decisions.  It will also present the challenges\, such as demonstrating value and presenting data to different audiences.  Future developments within the field will also be addressed\, together with considerations of how these will impact on decision making in the future\, for example new approaches to analytics.  There will be discussion on how the development of open access is impacting on usage behaviour and influencing considerations for collection development. \n\n\n\nDelegates will have the opportunity to reflect on the role of statistics in the broader context of further and higher education\, and the culture of assessment that is becoming increasingly prominent within the sector.  Delegates will be encouraged to actively participate throughout the day.. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar is aimed at both those in libraries who need to analyse or interpret usage data to support decision making about resources and collections\, within a strategic context.  It will be of interest to those with a responsibility for overseeing the management and evaluation of library collections in the further and higher education sector\, and who need to demonstrate impact and value to senior leadership teams\, rather than those involved in the operational role.  It may also be of interest to those working in other areas of the scholarly information industry.  It will also be of importance to publishers who need to understand the collection development decisions of their customers. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This seminar does not cover the practical aspects of collecting usage data\, or of creating reports.  These topics are covered by the UKSG Practical Usage Statistics for Librarians seminar\, a hands-on workshop on gathering and manipulating usage statistics. \n\n\n\nBoth days will be recorded and available for playback on demand post event for registered delegates.  \n\n\n\nWe welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars\, however speakers and topics are generally UK focussed\, if you have any doubt about the suitability please don’t hesitate to contact us.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nDelegates will:  \n\n\n\n\nlearn about ways in which library resource usage statistics have been used by staff in university libraries to inform decision-making processes\n\n\n\ndevelop an understanding of how usage statistics can be used to demonstrate value from a publisher perspective\n\n\n\ngain knowledge of the impact of open access publishing on usage statistics and demonstrating value\n\n\n\ngain a greater insight into the wider environment and context in which usage statistics decision making is carried out and new approaches to this\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-event checks \n\n\n\n\n\nTo test your system ahead of time visit https://support.goto.com/webinar/system-check-attendee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\n\n\nAt UKSG\, we are committed to ensuring an exceptional experience for all our delegates. Our aim is to make presentations as accessible and inclusive as possible. \n\n\n\nHere’s how we achieve that: \n\n\n\n\nClosed Captioning Options: Our GoToWebinar application allows you to toggle closed captioning on or off during live sessions.

His work focuses on research support\, strategic publishing\, open access and research data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09.35 \n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s no use: making sense of data which may not be as it seems \n\n\n\nImperial’s Acquistions team has been buying etextbooks and using usage stats as evidence for a number of years. Recently\, it has emerged that these usage stats may not be exactly what they appear to be. \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Andrew will outline how we can make sense of what a usage statistic actually is – and how usage statistics can differ wildly – and will ask how much we can rely on usage data to inform our purchasing policies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndrew Knight  \n\n\n\nImperial College London  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAndrew has been Acquisitions and Content Services Manager at Imperial College London since May 2020. This is a strategic role which looks after acquisitions\, metadata and document delivery across seven Imperial College Libraries\, identifying and implementing new technologies and innovations\, and advising the Library leadership team on sector developments. \n\n\n\nAndrew represents Imperial College at a sector level on a number of national groups and networks including Jisc’s Learning Content Expert Group\, the NAG committee\, and SUPC’s framework and contract management groups. His particular interests are around collection development\, library-supplier relations\, and how libraries can extract better value-for-money from a not-always-helpful market. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10.35 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10.55 \n\n\n\n\n\nMade to measure: how can we make decisions that align with our institutional values \n\n\n\nUsage data is a tool in a Library’s evaluation arsenal. When budgets are squeezed and renewal reminders come in\, we instinctively reach for those precious figures to show us how loved\, or not\, our resources are.  We will compensate for issues in completeness and accuracy\, and we use this data as a proxy for qualitative measures that are intangible. But as Library’s allocate more budget to open resources\, are our proxy measures still valuable? \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Bethany will reflect on how what we want to measure has changed\, and how data driven decision making needs to make a little room for values driven decision making. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBethany Logan  \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sussex \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nBethany Logan is the Research & Open Scholarship Senior Manager at the University of Sussex. She has worked in academic library roles since 2006 and currently leads the design and delivery of Library services to support research and open scholarship\, embedding principles Open Research and Scholarship in policy\, practice\, and culture across the University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:25 \n\n\n\n\n\nAltmetrics – if you look beyond the numbers\, you’ll find meanings \n\n\n\nAltmetrics or alternative indicators of scholarly interest can tell us a lot about research and how it is being received beyond the traditional citation and impact factor scores\, that much we know. But what else can altmetrics tell us about our research world\, especially producing the outputs\, communicating them and what opportunities can we leverage from all of this? We’re not yet using altmetrics to their full potential but in the course of this short talk Andy will provide a few insights on how we can make better use of this data to gain a better grasp and understanding of our scholarly world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndy Tattersall \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sheffield  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.55 \n\n\n\n\n\nRole of JUSP in gathering usage statistics and informing decision making \n\n\n\nJUSP save libraries time and effort by collecting and collating usage statistics into one place. JUSP’s reports and visualisations allow libraries to focus more effort on analysing and monitoring use\, value and impact of resources. In this presentation\, we will look at how JUSP works\, the importance the COUNTER and SUSHI standards\, and provide examples of how JUSP’s reports and visualisations can help libraries make data informed decisions when it comes to renewing\, purchasing\, and promoting e-resources \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaura Wong \n\n\n\nJisc \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nLaura Wong is product manager for two COUNTER-based usage statistics services (JUSP and IRUS) and works within the Jisc licensing intelligence and analytics team.

This is important as a business to ensure that what we make discoverable is addressing the user needs and for institutions who are using budget dollars to acquire content for their specific users. \n\n\n\nWe will explore how book and journal content is evaluated at JSTOR when supporting publisher and library business models and to measure the success of models within our Books at JSTOR program. We will also evaluate some of the referrer usage\, that allows publishers and libraries to know how content is discovered when accessed on JSTOR and what are key search terms users use to discover content direct on JSTOR. \n\n\n\nLastly\, usage data will be shared that helps us understand how usage for licensed content changes for users across the world when it is made freely available. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Lenahan \n\n\n\nJSTOR  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAs vice president of published content\, John collaborates with publishers and libraries to develop products and programs that support their organizational needs and missions.
