SUMMARY:UKSG Usage data for decision making online seminar 2024
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 6th (12:30 start) & 7th November (9:30 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\nWednesday\, November 6\, 2024 – 12:30 GMTtoThursday\, November 7\, 2024 – 12:15 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\nThe seminar is now fully booked and registration is now closed\, to join the waitlist please email events@uksg.org.  Many thanks for your interest. \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.

Operations in this department are among other things\, print and electronic scholarly information recourses\, Open access and scholarly publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12.40 \n\n\n\n\n\nImperial Measurements – what we actually look at when we look at etextbook usage data \n\n\n\nAt Imperial College\, we have been running analyses of etextbook usage for as long as we’ve had our collection\, and they’ve helped us develop processes which focus on value for money\, and help support decisions around purchasing and cancellations. However\, in the interests of time and clarity\, we’ve got used to adopting a very broad definition of the word ‘usage’. In this presentation\, we’ll examine exactly what we mean by ‘usage’\, and look at how some other performance indicators might challenge our previously held assumptions about what ‘good usage’ is. \n\n\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\n\n\n\n\n13.10 \n\n\n\n\n\nMade to measure: how can we make decisions that align with our institutional values – an update \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.  She also gives an update on how things have changed recently\, budgets cuts and changes.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\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 Associate Director of the Library at the University of Sussex.

Unclear about the difference between an Investigation and a Request (or how those relate to views and downloads)? Can’t tell your TR_J1 from a TR_J4? This session will clear up the confusion with an introduction to the COUNTER Code of Practice for usage data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTasha Mellins-Cohen \n\n\n\nCOUNTER Metrics / Mellins-Cohen Consulting \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nTasha Mellins-Cohen\, Executive Director at COUNTER Metrics and Founder of Mellins-Cohen Consulting\, joined the scholarly publishing industry in 2001.

Discipline-specific OACA was found\, despite higher average JIFs of non-OA journals. The effect was strongest for the green OA variant. These results may inform the development of publishing strategies. Researchers do not have to compromise between OA publishing or achieving citation impact. Importantly\, green OA can provide at least as high citation advantage as paid OA in hybrid journals\, offering a no-cost option for increased accessibility and impact. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nŠárka Erben Johansson \n\n\n\nMalmö University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nŠárka is a research librarian at Malmö University.

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\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndy Tattersall \n\n\n\nUniversity of Sheffield  \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nAndy Tattersall is an Information Specialist at the Division of Population Health at The University of Sheffield.

However\, collecting\, cleaning\, analysing\, and presenting data can be time-consuming and increasingly may require specialist skills and tools. This seminar will help delegates to discover the opportunities for utilising data in their institutions\, introduce some of the data analysis and visualisation tools available\, and offer case studies highlighting how libraries are already using different types of data to support service delivery and development and demonstrate impact. Data sources explored will include but are not limited to resource and service usage and discovery data\, research and open access data\, budgetary data\, print book circulation and library footfall data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse level and previous knowledge required \n\n\n\n\n\nThis course will be of particular interest to librarians and library managers working in further and higher education who are interested in developing a data analytics service in their library and utilising a range of different data to support decision-making.

From a library perspective this can be exacerbated by differences in expectations\, facilities and services from FE to HE libraries. For a number of years\, HE librarians at some institutions have been seeking to bridge this gap by taking a skill-based approach and offering support with the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) to college students. In this webinar we’ll look at the limitations of this approach and suggest an alternative mindset-based approach where FE and HE library colleagues can collaborate on better preparing students for transition between the sectors. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRecording\n\n\n\nYou may still register for this event recording here. \n\n\n\nSlides\n\n\n\nOur speakers have kindly agreed to make their slides available.

In this presentation\, I argue for a new approach to enable libraries to take back control of their systems and their data. Open source software is not only more secure than proprietary software but allows users more control and customisation over how the software works. By working collaboratively\, libraries could establish community-driven multi-tenant library systems installations using open source software to give them more control over their system security\, to protect their users’ lending data\, and to divest themselves of third-party private library systems companies. Using examples from the Copim and the Open Book Futures project infrastructure\, I’ll show how open source software provides a more secure and more ethical alternative to proprietary software. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSimon Bowie \n\n\n\nCentre for Postdigital Cultures\, Coventry University \n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nSimon Bowie is an Open Source Software Developer at the Centre for Postdigital Cultures\, Coventry University\, UK\, where he works on the Open Book Futures project helping to build community-owned and scholar-led open infrastructures for open access book publishing with a particular focus on experimental book publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11.50 \n\n\n\n\n\nAssessing Cyber Resilience in Nigerian Libraries: An Empirical Study of Security Measures\, Threats\, and Preparedness \n\n\n\nLibraries in Nigeria\, like others globally\, are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats\, compromising the integrity and availability of their digital collections and services.

In many ways\, the pandemic has accelerated the acceptance of remote learning and faster technological advancements. Still\, in other ways\, it has exposed areas of weakness concerning data security/privacy in education and its supply chains. Besides education entities taking up more traditional and resilient security measures/frameworks\, there can also be an approach to deploy innovative technologies such as blockchain or decentralized networks and utilize decentralized digital identities (DID). \n\n\n\nIn the education sector\, digital identities can be used for various purposes such as verifying academic qualifications\, authenticating students and staff\, and managing educational resources. It could also create a secure\, decentralized system for storing and sharing academic research. This would make it easier for researchers to find and access the data they need and would help to prevent fraud. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStefan Kendzierskyj \n\n\n\nMaverick Publishing Specialists \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee Biography\nStefan Kendzierskyj has an extensive commercial\, consulting\, and strategic leadership background\, holding senior and executive-level positions with technology solution-led companies servicing the publishing\, fintech\, government\, and cybersecurity sectors.Stefan holds a master’s degree in Cybersecurity and is an accomplished author in emerging technology subjects\, such as governance/risk/compliance\, privacy\, blockchain\, self-sovereign identity\, AI\, cyber warfare\, and cyberattacks/threats – with published works through world-renowned publishers such as Springer\, Elsevier\, Taylor & Francis\, IGI\, and World Scientific.His latest research involves GRC frameworks and cybersecurity for ground-to-space satellite systems. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15.30 \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15.40 \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Academy is in Play\, And It Is Not a Game \n\n\n\nLibrarianship is under attack in the United States.
