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?


» 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


How to run the reports

Calendar year

Academicyear


Calendar year report


Academic year report


» 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?


» 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



» 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
