S80 - Evaluating the Consortia Purchase: When you can’t get statistics for your own institution, can you extrapolate from other sources?
Conference Track
2. Collection Development & Assessment
Learning Objectives
Following this session, participants will be able to: assess usage for titles shared across consortia using a variety of metrics.
Following this session, participants will be able to: evaluate usage prediction models and apply them to different types of consortia resources to evaluate payments.
Abstract
When you share a license with two other institutions, how do you measure use and value? Icahn School of Medicine, NYU Health Sciences Library, and New York University share several important publisher and title packages. By comparing individual title usage we will create a model of shared usage across these institutions.
