  1. COUNTER and e-resource management tools Link Servers, Metasearch tools, ERM systems UKSG: December 2005Jenny WalkerVP MarketingEx Libris Groupjenny.walker@exlibrisgroup.com

  2. e-Resource Management Tools?

  3. SIAM journal on applied mathematics 

  4. SUSHI

  5. SUSHI • Standards Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative • Initial premise: too difficult/too expensive for libraries to get their statistics each month • Goal: to retrieve and import COUNTER reports from compliant content providers into local systems automatically. • Proof-of-concept uses Web (SOAP) services – COUNTER JR-1 report • NISO workshop – early 2006

  6. Tripped up by Terminology?

  7. Platform/Service Publisher Journals

  8. Interface Link Target e-journals

  9. Search Target Collection?

  10. e-Product (Interface) e-Product (Package) e-Product(e-journals)

  11. Linking/Link Resolvers

  12. COUNTER basics Q: Who gets to count full text requests? • Publisher? • Aggregator? • E-Journal gateway? • Link Resolver? A: The party that delivers the actual text to the user

  13. Linking User finds citation of interest in an A&I database. An OpenURL link is provided Citation A&I Database Link menu Link Resolver Full Text Publisher site Full text Link-Out Link-Out

  15. Portals/Metasearch

  16. Metasearch • Also known as: • Federated search • Broadcast search • User presented with a single search interface • Searches multiple information sources at same time • Eliminates (or assists with) resource selection • Retrieve, consolidates and ranks results • A new challenge for statistics

  17. Metasearch: a new challenge • What can be affected • Session counts • Search counts • Why? • “Search all” option or automatic selection/search of many resources • Perform simultaneous activities • Optimization techniques

  18. EBSCO OCLC ProQuest OVID Searching without Metasearch Resources -Product 1-Product 2-Product 3… user Visits = 1Sessions = 2Searches = 2

  19. EBSCO OCLC ProQuest OVID With Metasearch engine Metasearch -Search All -Business-Medicine… user Visits = 1Sessions = 20Searches = 20

  20. EBSCO OCLC ProQuest OVID With Metasearch engine Metasearch -Search All -Business-Medicine… user Visits = 1Sessions = 20Searches = 20 Visits = 1Sessions = 28Searches = 28

  21. Metasearch lessons • Libraries should want to isolate metasearch sessions and searches • Capture source of activity • Isolate metasearch IP address • Have metasearch access through separate account • Support metasearch standardization activities through NISO • We need a standard way to recognize a metasearch session

  22. e-Resource Reports and Stats • Metasearch Tools • Searches by Search Target • Link Resolvers • Clickthroughs per Journal • Clickthroughs per Link Target • ERM systems • Cost-usage analysis • Overlap analysis
