13. Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) M2M way of gathering statistics Replaces the user- mediated collection of usage reports SUSHI server to gather data from JUSP http://www.flickr.com/photos/ragingwire/3395161474/

14. Collecting the evidence Have you got all the information you need? Is it complete? Is it too much?

15. Have you got all the information you need? JR1 and JR1A reports

16. Is it complete? Adding intermediaries

17. Is it too much? Subtracting the backfiles

18. Usage data for decision- making Some JUSP reports: SCONUL returns Trends over time Titles with the highest use Titles and deals

19. SCONUL returns

20. Trends over time

21. Titles with the highest use- all publishers

22. What’s the deal? What titles are in the deal? Comparing deals Looking at deals over time Usage of titles and deals

23. Viewing usage of titles and deals

24. Usage ranges showing nil use

25. Core or subscribed titles Mark these up in JUSP: To view value of a deal: How much use is being made of the core titles? How much use is being made of the unsubscribed titles included in the deal? To review usage with schools/faculties To consider possible cancellations/substitutions where these are allowed.

26. Titles with the highest use which are core titles?

27. Adding cost or subject data to JUSP reports Most JUSP reports can be downloaded: Add costs to the ‘annual summary of publisher use’ to compare costs per download Core titles cost more: sort reports by ‘core’ and ‘non-core’ titles to compare costs of each Add your subject categories or fund codes to core or subscribed titles to report on usage to schools/faculties

28. Community resource responding to what people want Working closely with libraries to understand how JUSP is being used and how it can help decision-making Information sharing and training events Developing new reports and features from user feedback Quick response rates encourage active user participation http://www.flickr.com/photos/the_approximate_photographer/5543746890/
