E-metrics
for Library and Information Professionals. How
to use data for managing and evaluating
electronic resource collections.
Is
your library getting every dollar’s worth
out of that expensive database? Should you
re-subscribe to that pricey e-journal? Are
your indexes serving your users? Collection
development and acquisitions librarians are
facing tough new questions. Unfortunately
for many, these were unanswerable questions
until now.
White and Kamal show how to use e-metrics to
measure library performance and value in the
digital age. With this book, you can learn
how to use effectively the electronic data
captured from various network activities to
manage library collections, budgets, and
services. Using e-metrics, the authors
identify expensive and underused digital
resources, visualise virtual search
behaviour patterns and construct new
collection development strategies.
Authors: Andrew White and Eric Djiva Kamal
