Electronic Resources: Analyzing Your Growing Investment

ER&L Conference Committee November 8th, 2009

For many academic libraries, the investment shift from traditional printed materials to electronic resources continues to gain momentum with every budget cycle. This ongoing shift often creates a new set of challenges for library staff to find ways to effectively analyze cost data, usage statistics and other information to ensure they are getting the most from their electronic resources investment.

Topics include usage statistics harvesting methods (e.g., COUNTER, SUSHI, etc.), cost analysis and other reporting tools that are critical for many of these libraries.
