Where to get Usage Figures for Electronic Services?

German Library Statistics DBS 2007+

Which Parties are involved in Generating Service and Stats ? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

DBS Starts reporting on Electronic Usage in 2007 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Use of Electronic Resources & Online Services in DBS (2007) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Availability of Electronic Usage Data is Still Limited (DBS 2007) Compiled from Data downloaded from: http://www.bibliotheksstatistik.de/eingabe/dynrep/index.php [2009-04-15]

Sample University Library Profile (DBS) Basics on Library-“Size“, -Input & Output ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Data downloaded from www.bibliotheksstatistik.de into PC-Spreadsheet Program, [2009-05-03]

Looking at one Parameter (EZB) reported by 2 statistics hosts EZB Admin versus DBS 2007

Linking to „Electronic Journals“ What it means ? What is counted ? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A = free access B = locally licensed C = As B but only certain years D = paid full text, not licensed Access Category of Publication

Pros and Cons of counting EZB „free“ eJournal-Linking activity ? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Looking annually at 1 Parameter (EZB) at 1 time (DBS 2007) for many libraries

Comparing EZB Use (B+C) among University Libraries in 2007 Compiled from DBS VA: http://www.bibliotheksstatistik.de/eingabe/dynrep/index.php [2009-04-15] EZB (B+C only) call as per DBS 2007 Standardized per Primary User per Year

Comparing Usage at different Types of Institutions

2007 EZB Usage per Primary User at Universities versus Polytechs ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],While you may calculate Mean and St. Dev. for a population, make sure it is normally distributed before drawing further conclusions (check Median) !

Looking at Distribution among University Libraries & Polytechs ? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A B

BIX Performance-Indicator „Virtual Library Use“ ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Electronic Usage enters the „Main Stage“ in 2008 (with BIX) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

From Electronic Library Output to „Virtual Use“ (DBS2007 > BIX2008) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

How SMART is „Virtual Use“ ? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Journal & Database Vendors (COUNTER)

Standardzed Library Services (e.g. OpenURL)

[object Object],INTERNET Sources Targets Statischer Link: URL

2. Generation: Persist. Identifier Links INTERNET BIBLIOTHEK Sources Targets Datenbases of Links CrossRef DOI Too dynamic, Too much work For Library

3. Generation: Context sensitive Links OpenURL Resolver INTERNET Virtual Library Sources Targets OpenURL-Resolver LinkServer Service Menu Link to fulltext Document Delivery Interlibrary Loan OPAC Entry Store in PBS Lookup in WoS … CATALOG INDEX BOOK JOURNAL

Linking with OpenURL Resolver Principle & URL-Syntax http://sfx.aaa.edu/menu? genre=article&issn=1234-5678 &volume=12&issue=3&spage=1&epage=8&date=1998 &aulast=Smith&aufirst=Paul

Commercial Introduction of LinkResolvers (2000-2004)

OpenURL Dynamically Links to the „Appropriate Copies“
