[Eril-l] Alt Usage Stats

Hi Ingrid,
I think it could also be worth asking the vendor what they consider a
"session" to be (i.e. 1 full day, 1 hour, etc.) to get some additional
context.
Did they also indicate if the "Hits from IP Address" are based on
particular *content *on their platform (i.e. # of Hits for a Journal or
page), or if it's measuring overall Hits on the entire platform? If they
didn't, I'd ask them that as well because if it's Hits for the whole
resource or interface, I'd interpret that as Platform-level usage (from the
comparison to COUNTER).
Also, if this specialized resource *by chance *utilizes OpenAthens, you
could peek at the # of authentications and see if you can find a
correlation. If you all use Ex Libris Alma/Primo and this resource appears
in the catalog, it could be worthwhile pulling up the Link Resolver usage
and looking at the "Number of Clicked Services" to see how much the
platform is being engaged as well. It *still *won't paint a major picture,
but it can show another perspective.
Good luck!
Erika

>
> Over the last several years, diversity, equity, and inclusion have become
> critical issues for the library community. This essential focus is codified

> Values of Librarianship". At the same time, the tremendous benefit of

> Yet becoming competent in this area can be challenging and deeply

> experience shame, fear, and self disappointment. In her book, How to Be an
> Inclusive Leader, author Jennifer Brown describes a model for navigating
> self-growth in this area. The Inclusive Leaders Continuum includes four
> stages: Unaware, Aware, Active, and Advocate. Particularly in the Aware
> stage, Brown calls for "deep self-reflection and internal dialogue". One
> way of doing this is through intentional critical reflection, actively
> observing experiences often through writing, while offering practical tools
> for continuous learning
>
> We will explore Brown's model, emphasizing the Aware stage and present

>
> Who should attend?
>
> Anyone with formal leadership duties or informal responsibilities that

> help create inclusive environments, or individuals with a desire to learn
