Jamane Yeager, electronic access librarian, and Jerry Waller, systems librarian, presented on a better way to evaluate electronic serials usage on March 31 at the North Carolina Serials Conference in Chapel Hill.
The presentation, titled “Using EZProxy Logs and Google Analytics to Evaluate Electronic Serials Usage,” described an alternate method to collect comprehensive statistics on serials and electronic resources use, and discussed how EZproxy logs and Google Analytics can provide a better picture of how library patrons use e-serials and electronic resources, and how libraries can make informed collection development decisions.
