SUMMARY:UKSG Usage data for decision making online seminar 2025
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 11th (12:30 start) & 12th November (9:00 start)\, for more details please visit the programme section below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, November 11\, 2025 – 12:30 GMTtoWednesday\, November 12\, 2025 – 12:30 GMT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\nOnlineUnited Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\nclick here to register.  \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\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\nDelegates will:  \n\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\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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAttendee Information \n\n\n\n\n\nThe webinar tool we use is Go to Webinar.

She has held roles within learned societies and commercial publishers across operations\, technology\, editorial and executive functions\, while donating time to key industry initiatives and bodies such as UKSG\, ALPSP and STM. In 2020 she started consulting in response to requests for help in developing and implementing OA business models in not-for-profit groups. In 2022 she stepped up from volunteer to Director at COUNTER Metrics\, the standard for usage metrics\, alongside her consulting work \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13.20 \n\n\n\n\n\nUnder the COUNTER when usage data is harder to find  \n\n\n\nCOUNTER stats are great for the majority of our journal and ebook holdings\, but what about the resources which don’t supply COUNTER stats? As libraries are increasingly asked to give access to a range of non-traditional resources such as maps\, business data and law sites\, as well as specialist journals and magazine titles the job of gathering and analysing usage can be complex. This session will look at some of the other places Edge Hill goes hunting for usage\, including directly from publishers websites\, as well as using data from EZProxy to gain evidence of usage\, as well as addressing some of the drawbacks to these methods. \n\n\n\n. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRuth Smalley  \n\n\n\nEdge Hill University  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nRuth is the Subscriptions and Licensing Manager at Edge Hill University.

For read access\, KI Library has multiple levels of service we can provide for our users at different price points. With many different kinds of usage data that can potentially support decision making in this area\, we wanted to see how we could use different kinds of usage data together in a more systematic way to catch emerging information needs \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Hahne \n\n\n\nKarolinska Institutet \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nDavid is an e-licensing librarian at Karolinska institutet – a medical university in Stockholm\, Sweden.

Engagement data (e.g. attendance/ use of VLE) can give us ‘obvious’ red flags\, but it can be difficult to quantify the ‘depth’ of student engagement. Library/ learning resources information may help with this. We know that use of our online e-book platform (BibliU) correlates with module outcomes. We will talk about how this data can be part of targeting comms\, support and interventions for individual students and different student groups during the semester\, to try to increase student success \n\n\n\n\n\nValerie Cox   \n\n\n\nCoventry University  \n\n\n\nSee Biography\nOriginally a researcher in muscle physiology\, Dr Val Cox has worked in academic lecturing/ leadership roles at Coventry University for 26 years.
