  1. JUSP: building on successAngela Conyers and Jo Lambert22nd July 2013, Northumbria International Conference

  2. Summary • JUSP introduction • Interoperability with other services • Increased functionality • Usage profiling • Extending beyond e-journals • E-book trial • JUSPConsult • Next steps

  3. Introduction and aims • Supports libraries by providing a single point of access to e-journal usage data • Assists management of e-journals collections to inform evaluation and decision-making processes • Enables usage comparisons and trend analysis

  4. Who?

  5. Partnership – libraries and publishers • Delivering a service to the community • Collaboration and co-development in conjunction with libraries • Working with publishers to provide enhanced customer service

  6. Standards and interoperability • Standards • COUNTER • SUSHI • Interoperability • KB+ • ERM systems • RAPTOR-JUse

  7. KB+

  8. RAPTOR-Juse: a Jisc funded project Open source software suite for accounting of authentication information, primarily designed to assist organisations account for e-resource usage. Who is using the resources? The Journal Usage Statistics Portal (JUSP) provides a "one-stop shop" for libraries to view, download and analyse their e-journal usage reports from participating publishers. What are they using?

  9. Technical challenges No common identifier for the ‘service’ that provides access to the resource. • RAPTOR records this as ‘entityID’ • COUNTER reports harvested by JUSP are at platform or publisher level.  Combining daily and monthly figures • RAPTOR is event-based, reporting on authentication events • JUSP reports on aggregated information relating to monthly article requests for journals.

  10. Data from RAPTOR and JUSP displayed together in RAPTOR • JUSP JR1/JR1a reports by journal platform • RAPTOR report showing use of one resource by School

  11. True, false or maybe? School A has 65% of authentication events for an ‘entityID’ in RAPTOR Therefore School A has 65% of the usage of the platform or publisher in JUSP Is this a safe way of allocating budgets? Are we comparing apples and pears? Some caveats • RAPTOR services contain more content than JUSP platforms or publishers – databases, ebooks etc. • JUSP data are presented at platform/publisher level – need to go to JUSP to get to title level

  12. What has been learned? • Great interest from the community in the idea behind the RAPTOR-JUse project of combining authentication and usage data • Great deal has been learned about the technical processes involved in combining these two sets of data • Is RAPTOR-JUse the way forward, or is the jury still out on how best to discover who are the actual users of our e-resources?

  13. Usage profiling • How well are we doing? • How does our usage compare with others? • What constitutes good usage?

  14. How does it work? Individual libraries can view their own usage against averages for those in the same: • Jisc band • Regional group (as defined by HESA) • University or library group (Russell group, 1994, post -92 universities etc) • Average number of FTE users in each of the appropriate groups

  15. Usage profiling report

  16. What is not included • Means of identifying individual libraries Libraries only have access to their own data to compare with a set of averages • Costs JUSP does not contain any cost data for individual libraries • Deal information Averages are based on total JR1 and JR1a requests for each publisher, irrespective of deal or collection taken.

  17. How will it be used? • To use when comparing budgets in other institutions with actual usage • To monitor effect of promotional campaigns • To view trends across years • To help provide context for what constitutes ‘good usage’ • To analyse reasons for usage that was higher or lower than average

  18. E-book trial Small pilot trial with 2 publishers and members of the JUSP Community Advisory Group (CAG) • Collecting usage data (BR2) via SUSHI • Identifying issues involved and resources required

  19. E-book trial

  20. Developing JUSP for different markets • Responding to interest in JUSP • Awareness of same issues being faced • Expertise and enthusiasm of the JUSP team

  21. Pilot projects Individual libraries • An overseas university • University of Western Australia • UK government libraries • Defence Science & Technology Laboratory (DSTL)

  22. JUSPConsult

  23. Consultancy, advisory and support services Justification Advice on building the case for a usage statistics portal, costs and efficiency gains Implementation Assistance with building a platform, providing a hosted service or meeting individual requirements Analysis and interpretation Usage data analysis, requirements gathering and presentation

  24. Next steps • Continued development of pilot trials • COUNTER Release 4 • Extending beyond JR1 • Aligning with wider projects and service
