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.
