2. E-Journal UsageThe advent of E-journals allowed us to
harvest a plethora of usagedata.Why?Because we could!?But what did
we do with all that data?For years we just stored it and
occasionally, we looked it!
3. E-Journal UsageThen we were required to be more accountable,
more efficientand more effective.Sizers three Es: Economy in
acquisition Efficiency in the use of resources, and Effectiveness
in the achievement of objectives (Sizer 1988)
4. E-Journal UsageIn response we developed KPIs!SCONUL
Measures: Number of E-journal titles available Total expenditure on
E-journals Number of full-text downloads Number of downloads per
FTE Student/User E-journal expenditure per FTE Student/User Cost
per download per FTE Student/User
5. E-journal UsageThese werent enough though!In 2004-2005 we
developed local KPIs for the Big Deals & Backfilespurchased:
Downloads per FTE Student/User per package Average cost per
subscribed title per package Average cost per reported title per
package Average cost per download per package Average cost per
package per FTE Student/User per package
6. E-journal UsageUse per Title per package: Number of titles
per package with High usage(>= 100 downloads) Number of titles
per package with Medium usage(11-99 downloads) Number of titles per
package with Low usage(< 11 downloads) Number of titles with
Zero usage All costly in staff time!
