ABOUT THE WEBINAR
In a time of shrinking budgets and growing reliance on electronic resources, the
collection and analysis of usage statistics has become a staple of the library
world. But while usage statistics may be ubiquitous, many librarians still
struggle with the best methods of interpreting the data. The ability to
effectively understand and apply usage data is an important skill for librarians
to master as they attempt to analyze their collections and justify their
expenses to administrations.
This webinar, jointly presented by NISO and NASIG, will highlight the ins and
outs of COUNTER, as well as discuss the process of analyzing the data once
harvested.
