Quantitative Reporting on Digital Collections

COUNTER reports provide consistent, meaningful insight into database, ebook, journal, chapter, and article use. They’re an essential tool for collection evaluation and for demonstrating the library’s value to faculty and administrators.

The recording of our webinar facilitated by ACRL and Choice is now available from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8Ll_5AL0Ro

The webinar shows how you can – as a collection development, acquisitions, e-resources librarian, or administrator – provide insight into your library’s collections. The webinar looked ahead to the upcoming Code of Practice (COP) 5, effective from January 2019. You’ll learn about the key differences between COP 4 and COP 5, and get a behind-the-scenes look at current and upcoming reporting from a publisher in the process of updating their systems to achieve the simplification integral to COP 5. You will learn:
What’s new in the Code of Practice 5, and how it impacts you
How reporting is changing and why
How one publisher is making the change to COP 5
