[Eril-l] [External] Demonstrating Library Impact During Crisis

[Arndt,Theresa]

We are not only reporting usage, but also the extra efforts involved to support courses that had to suddenly go online.   This includes acquisition of ebooks specifically requested for course readings, upgrades from single-user to multi-user copies or purchase of additional copies, special arrangements for online databases or primary sources that are serving as a substitute for originally planned in-person activities/research, increase in streaming license provision.

Hi Chris,



It might be more feasible for your systems person to track web page traffic.  Some starting points could be usage to your library home page, the catalog, and LibGuides.



Best,



Anna

Good morning,



As academic institutions have shifted services to an online format, have any of you been asked to or taken the initiative to demonstrate the impact that libraries are having now?  We were initially asked to provide weekly comprehensive e-resources usage reports, but until we implement our Alma Analytics service, even monthly reports probably aren’t feasible.



Please feel free to share how you’re providing evidence of your library’s impact, whether that be through the usage of library services or e-resources.



Thank you!



Chris
