Abstract: The Journal Usage Statistics Portal (JUSP) service is expanding 
rapidly, and aims to encompass all NESLi2-participating publishers by the end of 
2011, together with all UK higher-education institutions subscribing to deals 
from those publishers. A key part of the success of JUSP will be the 
implementation of the Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative 
(SUSHI) protocol for automatic harvesting of usage statistics directly from 
publishers. This article outlines development of the service and describes how 
JUSP is working with Oxford University Press to deliver usage statistics to 
libraries. We also describe future developments at JUSP, including the creation 
of our own SUSHI server, and explain how new initiatives and enhancements 
are developed and rolled out in conjunction with our participating institutions.
