Vendor-supplied Usage Data: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

Researchers at the University of Tennessee reviewed vendor-supplied usage data for 2005 from over 70 vendors of electronic resources, including the mechanisms for cquiring the data and analyzing it. Over half of the reports were COUNTER-compliant for electronic journals and databases. The presentation will cover their findings. The research, part of the MaxData project at the University of Tennessee, was funded by a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
