Title: Usage Statistics for Serials Decision-Making
Alternative Title: The Value of Usage Statistics! Moving towards a clearer view for publishers and librarians
Author: Belvadi, Melissa ; Schufreider, Bob
Abstract: This session has two parts. The first part will discuss the trials and tribulations of the current library wrestling with how to collect, consolidate and prepare a thoughtful analysis of their usage data from their vendors and how new systems are in place to help libraries achieve their goals. The second part will explore ways to use such data from vendors and local servers to make new/renewal/cancellation decisions for serials in particular.
