Usage profiling

Usage profiling in JUSP

» A comparison of your usage from a selected publisher with average usage of that publisher by other libraries in the same Jisc band, region and group(s)

» Two different reports:

› Calendar year

› Academic year (which includes FTE information)

» Available for an increasing number of publishers participating in JUSP

What is usage profiling?

3

Usage profiling in JUSP

» The libraries you are compared with may not take the same deal as you

» Some libraries may only have subscribed titles with that publisher

» Some libraries may not use a particular publisher

» The report provides averages and you cannot see institution-specific data for any other institution

» Not all JUSP publishers have agreed to usage profiling

Things to bear in mind

Usage profiling in JUSP

» Compare your usage with averages for institutions of similar type that have deals or subscribed titles with the selected publisher

» Provide a context for what constitutes "good usage" by comparing your own figures with averages for other similar institutions

» Promote evidence of higher than average usage within your institution

» Seek reasons for lower than average usage

What can you do with the data?

8

Usage profiling in JUSP

» Using the academic year report, see how your usage per FTE compares with the average

» See how your FTE numbers compare with the average and whether this may affect usage that is higher or lower than average

» Use in conjunction with other evidence (e.g. from the SCONUL annual statistics) to see how well resources are being used within your institution in relation to total spend and other factors

What can you do with the data?

9

Usage profiling in JUSP

» Compare current data with previous years to see if usage patterns have changed in relation to the averages

» Download as a CSV file to do your own more detailed analysis in Excel

What can you do with the data?

JUSP and other services

KB+ demo

Damyanti Patel

KB+ shared services - 1

» JUSP API allows KB+ to gather title-level stats regularly

» JUSP API also has functionality for KB+ to gather journal level information e.g. new titles and details of institutions and publishers as we add them

JUSP -> KB+

KB+ -> JUSP» JUSP gathers title lists from KB+ public export page

and adds data to our reports where users can view title lists over single and multiple years

KB+ shared services - 2

» Both services currently maintain independent core title features and functions, so users can mark titles up in two places: messy and duplication of effort

» New service in development which will provide a single shared database of core titles, which will be edited through KB+ and which JUSP will use to flag up marked titles in reports

» No more editing in JUSP. Data passed from KB+ to JUSP nightly using new API

› UStat

› EBSCONET Usage Consolidation

› 360 COUNTER

› Millennium

» Management of 3rd party products via JUSP interface

» JUSP API for shared services - http://jusp.mimas.ac.uk/faq/

JUSP future developments and feedback

Ebooks

» Increased demand for ebook usage statistics and feasibility study led to additional funding to develop JUSP to include ebook usage statistics

» 1 year project (starting February 2015) to pilot ebook usage statistics service – resulting in a service by the end of the project

» Progress so far:

› Libraries selected for pilot

› Priority publishers and aggregators selected and contacted

› Technical infrastructure planned (based on previous feasibility study)

Other potential future developments

» Other resources (e.g. DB1 - Total Searches, Result Clicks and Record Views by Month and Database )

» Report enhancements

» JR5 – Number of Successful Item Requests by Year-of-Publication (YOP) and Journal

» JR2 – Access Denied to Full-Text Articles by Month, Journal and Page-type
