10:00-10:10 Welcome and Opening Remarks

10:10-10:40  Find the Gaps in Next-Generation Library Systems: Survey Results
We will share the results of our recent survey on next-generation library systems. The objective of the study was to determine whether libraries that have implemented these systems are able to complete electronic resource workflows entirely within those systems. 299 survey responses were received from staff using Alma, WorldShare Management System, and Sierra. We will review the survey structure, the results, and discuss our conclusions. (Jane Natches, Tufts University;  Emily Singley, Boston College)

10:40-11:10  Beyond COUNTER-compliant: the Importance of Assessing E-resources Reporting Tools
The need to continually evaluate electronic resources should not limited to the resources themselves. The reporting tools that monitor resource use need to be evaluated as well. This presentation will cover how vendor tools, designed to "assess your collection to make better decisions and reduce costs", can be assessed for reporting accuracy. In Summer 2015, Yale Library brought up ProQuest's 360 COUNTER Data Retrieval Service (DRS), in which COUNTER-compliant usage statistics are uploaded to ProQuest's system twice per year. To date DRS has freed up a significant amount of time for the E-Resources department, allowing for staff resources to be allocated elsewhere. This extra time also allowed the E-Resources department to "kick the tires" of 360 COUNTER, comparing raw COUNTER data uploaded in the system to the system-processed usage reports in Intota Assessment. Using tools already available (Excel) the E-Resources department was able to design and implement a Quality Control workflow, which has helped to better understand how the 360 COUNTER system works, whether the data is reliable, and what steps need to be taken-by both ProQuest and Yale Library-to improve reporting accuracy. (Kelly Blanchat, Yale University)

11:10-11:25  Break

11:25-11:55    Using Tableau to Assess Electronic Resources in Context
This presentation introduces a transparent and flexible option for libraries to assess usage of electronic resources in the context of other library usage metrics. The presenters will demonstrate how this can be achieved as well as the practical application in collections decision, library instruction, etc. (Mark Paris, Brandeis University; Katherine Collins, Brandeis University)
