Greetings all,
For those who are interested in exploring the use of open, COUNTER-conformant usage stats for your repositories, please join us for a webinar on April 18 about IRUS (Institutional Repository Usage Statistics), a service provided by Jisc, and made available to institutions in the United States (US) via Lyrasis (see IRUS US webpage).
IRUS US Webinar details:
When: Thursday, April 18, 2024, 3 - 4 p.m. EST

Description: Participants will be introduced to the capabilities of IRUS, followed by IRUS usage case studies from the University of Michigan and MIT. We will discuss the benefits of open usage stats, as well as broader challenges such as understanding whether, how, and where repository materials are used or referenced after they are viewed or downloaded.
