  1. Using JUSP to aid the NESLi2 journals renewals process Alison Brock 19th April 2012

  2. Process in 2011 • Collect JR1 and JR1A usage figures from individual NESLi2 publishers websites for 2010 • Create Excel spreadsheet for each NESLi2 publisher • Add title cost from publishers websites/NESLi2 or our own records • Calculate cost per use • Add details of faculty to each subscribed title • Discussed with faculty representatives and titles then flagged for swaps or, if possible, cancellations

  3. Issues with old process • Getting figures from publisher websites was time consuming • Different output formats for each publisher • Occasionally spotted errors in figures long after they had been collected • Whole process was long-winded • Sometimes didn’t have time to collect data before decision needed to be made

  4. Process in 2012 – Step 1 • Collect JR1 and JR1A reports from JUSP for calendar year 2011

  5. Process in 2012 – Step 2 • Export JR1 and JR1A Reports for each NESLi2 publisher to Excel • Sort by total use (high to low)

  6. Process in 2012 – Step 3 • Remove monthly columns and others not required • Add in cost data • Calculate cost per use • Highlight titles • High use non-subscribed PINK • Low use subscribed ([core] in front of title) GREEN

  7. Process in 2012 – Step 4 • Add details of faculty to each subscribed [core] title • Recommend swaps or, if possible, cancellations to faculty representatives • Collate information ready for journals renewals in 2013

  8. Benefits of new process • All outputs should be the same for each publisher • Easier to collate and compare information • JUSP processes ensure the data should be reliable

  9. Issues with new process • Need to have added information on subscribed [core] subscriptions beforehand • Could subscription agents/publishers have a role here in telling JUSP what we subscribe to? • Need to add price information • Potentially possible to add this to JUSP? • Need to calculate cost per use • Could do this if price information was available?
