Academic Journal Usage Statistics Portal: Supporting UK Libraries

The Journal Usage Statistics Portal (JUSP) aids UK academic libraries in managing e-journal collections efficiently by providing usage data, promoting informed decisions, and ensuring the best deals for the academic community through reports and support. JUSP collects standardized usage statistics through SUSHI and presents data crucial for journal evaluation, including successful full-text article requests and trends over time. The platform, open to all UK higher education institutions, assists in identifying resource usage, making optimal use of staff time, and evaluating subscription deals to enhance academic resource allocation. Additionally, JUSP continually evolves through community collaboration, adding publishers and exploring new e-resources, while providing support through training events and materials for effective utilization.

  1. The Journal Usage Statistics Portal (JUSP) http://www.flickr.com/photos/koenvereeken/2088902012/

  2. Session outline • Introduction to JUSP • Data and reports • Future plans • Support

  3. Background and aims Supports UK academic libraries by providing a single point of access to e-journal usage data Assists management of e-journals collections, evaluation and decision-making Provides statistics to ensure the best deals for the academic community http://www.flickr.com/photos/nostri-imago/3137422976/

  4. Who?

  5. Libraries in JUSP Most UK HE libraries are participating in JUSP All UK higher education institutions are welcome to participate http://jusp.mimas.ac.uk/participants.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellf/3910635234/

  6. JUSP and use cases • Informing decisions for substitutions/cancellations • Collecting data for regular reporting and decision making • Assisting academic departments in understanding resource use • Making effective use of staff time http://jusp.mimas.ac.uk/usecases.html

  7. Publishers and intermediaries in JUSP Participating publishers are listed at: http://jusp.mimas.ac.uk/participants.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/27205670@N00/543219767/

  8. How do we collect data? Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) M2M way of gathering statistics Replaces the user-mediated collection of usage reports SUSHI server to gather data from JUSP http://www.flickr.com/photos/ragingwire/3395161474/

  9. What data are we collecting? COUNTER usage reports JR1 Journal Report 1: Number of Successful Full-Text Article Requests by Month and Journal JR1a Journal Report 1a: Number of Successful Full-Text Article Requests from an Archive by Month and Journal http://www.flickr.com/photos/bionicteaching/2920562020/

  10. What data are we presenting?

  11. Screenshot – JR1

  12. Screenshot - JR1 including gateway and host intermediaries

  13. Screenshot – JR1 excluding backfile usage

  14. Screenshot – highest use showing stars

  15. Screenshot – trends over time

  16. Screenshot – SCONUL return

  17. Helping to judge the value of a deal JUSP enhancements: • Adding subscribed or core titles • What titles are in the deal?

  18. Adding subscribed or core titles • How much are the subscribed titles being used? • How much are other titles in the deal being used? • Does usage show that the deal offers better value than individual subscribed titles?

  19. Screenshot – highest use showing stars

  20. What titles are in the deal? Accounting for nil usage • Does the JR1 report contain titles that are not available in the collection the library subscribes to? • Does the JR1 report contain titles that are no longer part of the current deal e.g. name changes, publisher changes?

  21. How many titles are in the deal? Project Muse JR1 for 2011 for a library with the Basic Research Collection– 59% of titles in the JR1 are not in the library’s deal and will show nil use.

  22. Screenshot - Individual search and usage

  23. Futuredevelopments • Continuing to develop JUSP with help from community • Adding more e-journal publishers • Pilot studies on adding other e-resources • Sustainability models • Consultancy service

  24. Support We are doing various things to help people use JUSP more effectively: • Developing support materials • Running training events and webinars • Interoperability with other tools
