E-Resource Troubleshooting: A Staff Training Strategy (Li Ma)

(Abstract): Troubleshooting subscription e-resource access is a complex
task that lives at the intersection of specialized serial subscription
knowledge and the convergence of technologies. This presentation discusses
the most effective ways to train staff to handle e-resource access issues.

(Presenter Bio): Li Ma is currently the E-Resource & Serial Librarian at
Thomas Cooper Library at University of South Carolina. She has extensive
experiences in acquisitions, serials and electronic resource management as
well as in library system implementation.

Seeing the Forest Despite the Trees - Part 1:  Analyzing the Usage of
Databases and Journal Packages (Heidi Tebbe and Danica Lewis)

(Abstract for Part 1): Usage is central to renewal decisions, but the fact
that a journal package or database is not one thing, but a group of many
things, can complicate a renewal evaluation. In this talk, we will provide
an overview of COUNTER statistics; identify the reports that are most
useful when evaluating database or journal package renewals; and discuss
how to format the data for analysis. We will also demonstrate different
methods of visualizing both the group and individual components of a
database or journal package.

Seeing the Forest Despite the Trees - Part 2:   Methods for Analyzing
Faculty Research Output (Katharine Frazier, John Vickery, and Hilary Davis)

(Abstract for Part 2): Libraries have a wealth of data available to assess
journal packages. By digging into publication data, the NC State University
Libraries have learned which publishers our authors engage with the most
via their publication and editorial work. In this session, we’ll discuss
methods for analyzing publication data from Web of Science, including how
to download data, identify top publishers, and more. We will also demo a
homegrown web scraper that identifies institutional faculty editors.
Finally, we’ll discuss how we marry these elements to provide an evaluative
strategy for journal investments.
