What do libraries say about JUSP? The best thing about JUSP is: “Statistics gathering would be more of a drudge and I would be an unhappier Librarian. JUSP = Happiness ” “It saves me time and gives me confidence that errors in usage data can be picked up and addressed collaboratively.” “Very customer focused and develops in response to customer needs” “Wouldn't be without it”

7 Key principles » User centred development to align with user workflows » Continual community engagement » Standards based: COUNTER » Interoperability: stats tools, LMS, KB+

What data is collected? JR1 - Journal Report 1: Number of Successful Full-Text Article Requests by Month and Journal JR1a - Journal Report 1a: Number of Successful Full-Text Article Requests from an Archive by Month and Journal JR1 GOA - Number of Successful Gold Open Access Full-Text Article Requests by Month and Journal JR5 – Coming soon

How is JUSP data presented? JUSP report typeJUSP report title Journal level reports JR1, JR1a and JR1 GOA reports JR1 reports inc gateways and intermediaries JR1 reports excluding backfile usage Individual journal search and usage Summary reports SCONUL return Annual summary of publisher usage Annual summary use of gateway and host intermediaries Annual summary use of backfiles Number of titles and requests in usage ranges Trends over time - tables and graphs Titles with the highest use Breakdown of publisher and gateway usage (title and year)(title and date range) Titles and deals reports Titles included in deals (year/multiple years) Compare deals Titles vs NESLi2 deals Compare two deals from the same publisher Usage profilingThese reports enable a comparison of usage from a particular publisher with an average for all libraries for which we hold data from that publisher in JUSP and that are in the same Jisc band and region, and in the groups (pre-1992, post-1992, RLUK, 1994 etc) to which their institution belongs

10 Reports and features » 4 journal level reports, including JR1; gateway data; JR1 minus JR1a / JR1 GOA; journal search » 12 summary reports, including SCONUL; top titles; breakdown of usage by date range and publisher » 8 titles and deals reports including titles v deals; title lists; comparison of deals » Usage profiling report – compare your site with others in your band / groups / region / consortium

11 Gathering the data » SUSHI – Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative: machine to machine; JUSP only works with vendors offering a SUSHI service » We routinely collect approximately 7,000 JR1, JR1a and JR1 GOA reports per month across >60 publishers for between 8 and 151 sites » Additional and ongoing tasks: Backdata / new publishers and sites / ‘gap filling’ accounts / restated data e.g. we recently replaced 10 months of JR1a data from OUP for 149 sites

12 Processing the data » Every report is checked visually, and by in-house software prior to loading » Visual checks – correct number of files collected, right file sizes, check for SUSHI errors such as ‘partial data’, ‘service busy’, etc. » Automated checking software – missing titles, missing identifiers, wrong file formatting, missing total counts; if file is processed successfully, a load file is generated, otherwise it is rejected and we need to check further » Errors either fixed (e.g. add journal to database, add identifier) or passed back to publisher (e.g. globally blank identifiers, missing totals) » No reports or data added to JUSP unless we’re 100% happy!
