=========================================================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.
