The UK's Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) is organising a webinar on February 29 at 13.30 that will offer a practical demonstration of the Journal Usage Statistics Portal (JUSP). Jo Lambert, senior development officer at Mimas and Angela Conyers of Evidence Base, will highlight the time and cost saving benefits one can achieve by using JUSP to manage usage statistics. The JUSP is projected as a 'one-stop shop' for academic libraries to download and analyse their journal usage.
Using open source software could also improve the efficiency of an organisation, it is suggested. A team from OSS Watch will be leading the following two webinars in March.
The first webinar will offer advice to open source project managers on how to increase the chances of sustainable community engagement in their project. The second webinar will discuss how to increase the longevity and sustainability of an academic project or research outputs by choosing the right open source licence.
Future webinars will explore how to increase the citations of research data, extend a Virtual Learning Environment for the benefit of students and access and use a wealth of free online moving images and sound to enhance teaching and research.
