Helping to judge the value of a deal

JUSP enhancements:

• Adding subscribed or core titles

•What titles are in the deal?

Adding subscribed or core titles

• How much are the subscribed titles being used?

• How much are other titles in the deal being used?

• Does usage show that the deal offers better value than individual subscribed titles?

Screenshot – highest use showing stars

What titles are in the deal?

Accounting for nil usage• Does the JR1 report contain titles that are not

available in the collection the library subscribes to?

• Does the JR1 report contain titles that are no longer part of the current deal e.g. name changes, publisher changes?

How many titles are in the deal?

Project Muse JR1 for 2011 for a library with the Basic Research Collection–

59% of titles in the JR1 are not in the library’s deal and will show nil use.

Titles in the Premium Collection in the JR1 498

Titles in the Basic Research Collection 206

Titles in the JR1 not available to the Library 292

Future developments

• Continuing to develop JUSP with help from community

• Adding more e-journal publishers• Pilot studies on adding other e-resources• Sustainability models• Consultancy service

Support

We are doing various things to help people use JUSP more effectively:• Developing support materials • Running training events and webinars• Interoperability with other tools
