| Abstract: | This session has two parts. The first part will discuss the trials and
tribulations of the current library wrestling with how to collect,
consolidate and prepare a thoughtful analysis of their usage data from
their vendors and how new systems are in place to help libraries
achieve their goals. The second part will explore ways to use such data
from vendors and local servers to make new/renewal/cancellation
decisions for serials in particular. |
