Electronic resources management is increasingly dependent on analytics data. COUNTER usage statistics, cost data, return on investment, and many other measures are increasingly used to target investment in content, select appropriate business models, and identify user needs. Libraries use data to improve their own services through assessment, but must also to demonstrate the value of libraries to users and other stakeholders who support libraries. During this e-forum, we will discuss topics related to analytics for electronic resources (databases, electronic journals, and eBooks).

What is an e-forum?
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at: http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum.
