Usage Statistics and Publishers: Implementation and New Insights
Monday, September 20th
10:30am-3:30pm
CQ Press Offices
2300 N Street, NW
Washington, DC 

COUNTER usage reports are already well established among librarians as
essential tools for assessing the value of the journals and other online
products in their collections.  But there is another, growing area of
activity that is gaining in importance as the body of reliable,
COUNTER-compliant usage data increases and as usage statistics feature
more prominently in assessments of the value, status an impact of online
publications.  This area may be termed 'usage bibliometrics' and COUNTER
is working actively with other organizations on the development of new,
usage-based measures of value, status and impact.  This workshop will
look at the usage-based metric tools already developed by COUNTER for
measuring the performance of online publications as well as the
potential of emerging usage-based tools to provide insights into
research performance of individuals and institutions.

Who should attend? Anyone involved in the publishing, marketing and
sales of online journals, books and databases who is interested in
quantitative measures of product performance, impact and status
