2. Usage profiling

3. Usage profiling in JUSP
What is usage profiling?
A comparison of your usage from a selected publisher with average usage of that publisher by other libraries in the same Jisc band, region and group(s)
Two different reports:
Calendar year
Academic year (which includes FTE information)
Available for an increasing number of publishers participating in JUSP

4. Usage profiling in JUSP
Things to bear in mind
The libraries you are compared with may not take the same deal as you
Some libraries may only have subscribed titles with that publisher
Some libraries may not use a particular publisher
The report provides averages and you cannot see institution- specific data for any other institution
Not all JUSP publishers have agreed to usage profiling

6. Usage profiling in JUSP
Calendar year report
JR1 (including gateways and intermediaries)
JR1a (archive)
JR1 – JR1a i.e. Frontfile
Number of libraries compared with in each group which will include old and new Jisc bands, HESA regions, and other groups to which you belong (e.g. Pre-1992, Post-1992, RLUK, Russell Group, Million +, University Alliance, UKADIA, Guild HE, SHEDL, WHELF, M25
Can download as CSV file for further analysis (e.g. in Excel).

7. Usage profiling in JUSP
Academic year report
All the features of the calendar year report, plus:
- Total FTE information (staff + student) for you and your comparator groups
- Average FTE (staff + student) for each of your comparator groups
- Number of requests per FTE shown in brackets after totals
Can download as CSV file for further analysis (e.g. in Excel).

8. Usage profiling in JUSP
What can you do with the data?
Compare your usage with averages for institutions of similar type that have deals or subscribed titles with the selected publisher
Provide a context for what constitutes "good usage" by comparing your own figures with averages for other similar institutions
Promote evidence of higher than average usage within your institution
Seek reasons for lower than average usage

9. Usage profiling in JUSP
What can you do with the data?
Using the academic year report, see how your usage per FTE compares with the average
See how your FTE numbers compare with the average and whether this may affect usage that is higher or lower than average
Use in conjunction with other evidence (e.g. from the SCONUL annual statistics) to see how well resources are being used within your institution in relation to total spend and other factors

10. Usage profiling in JUSP
What can you do with the data?
Compare current data with previous years to see if usage patterns have changed in relation to the averages
Download as a CSV file to do your own more detailed analysis in Excel
