SUMMARY:UKSG Usage Statistics for Decision Making: London
DESCRIPTION:Libraries have access to more data than ever before about the ways in which their print and electronic resources are being used by readers\, and advances in standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative are making these statistics more accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making…. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, June 3\, 2016 – 10:00 BSTtoFriday\,

have access to more data than ever before about the ways in which their print and electronic resources are being used by readers\, and advances in standardisation led by the COUNTER initiative are making these statistics more accessible and reliable as a basis for decision making.At the same time\, public sector institutions are being asked to make extremely difficult choices about priorities for spending.  Although this presents huge challenges\, it can also be an impetus to change the ways in which services are provided.This seminar offers invaluable background information on how usage statistics are collated and what they do and do not measure\, as well as case studies demonstrating how statistics are informing the decision-making process in real life.  Delegates 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 also have the chance to share their own experiences\, positive and negative\, of using statistics for decision making and will be encouraged to actively participate throughout the day.Course level and previous knowledge requiredThis course is aimed at those who need to analyse or interpret usage data to support decision making about resources and collections.  It will be of particular interest to librarians and library managers working in the further and higher education sector but may also be of interest to those working in other areas of the scholarly information industry.Please note: This course 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.Learning objectivesDelegates will:•    understand how usage statistics are created and what they actually mean•    learn about practical ways in which e-journal and e-book usage statistics have been used by staff in university libraries to inform decision-making processes•    learn about other statistical approaches to measuring the value and impact ofe-resources•    understand the wider environment and context in which usage statistics collection and decision making is carried out•    discuss their own experiences of gathering and manipulating usage statistics in order to make financial\, management and service decisions. \n\n\n\nFee \n\n\n\nUKSG members:  £185.00 + £37.00 VAT [20%] (total
