Abstract
In the UK, national shared usage statistics services such as JUSP and IRUS-UK provide economies of scale. They save institutions time and money to focus on data analysis and quality. This paper will outline how organisations are using JUSP and IRUS-UK to measure value and impact of valuable resources.
