The NFAIS Committee on Usage Statistics is organising a one-day meeting, Usage Statistics: New Developments and Practical Applications, to be held on October 21, 2008 at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY from 9:00am to 4:30pm. This meeting - the third in a successful series launched in 2004 - will look at some of the new developments that have emerged since 2006, as well as the current practical applications of usage statistics. It will open with an update on the progress made by the two key standards for the creation and harvesting of usage statistics – Project COUNTER and SUSHI. The event will look at the current relationship between COUNTER and SUSHI and how these standards will move together in the future. Publishers and librarians will present case studies on how they currently gather, analyze and make informed decisions based upon the data that usage statistics provide. Of equal importance, they will highlight the pitfalls that must be avoided throughout the process so that the statistics are not unintentionally misused. Register now as seating is limited. Registration Discount Available Through October 3rd.
