<div dir="ltr">We've spent just over a year getting LibInsight going. It has its limitations--as all systems do--with COUNTER/usage stats. One of the biggest issues I've found is that it's difficult to match titles on multiple platforms to the correct stats for each platform. I am very excited to see how the automated SUSHI harvesting works. That will be huge.<div><br><div>One of the best things about LibInsight, though, is that we now enter most of our stats directly into the system instead of having to keep separate spreadsheets, clean/standardize data, store data in multiple locations. Now our librarians know to go directly to LibInsight for any stats needs.</div></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 25, 2018 at 10:39 AM, Jennifer Bazeley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bazelejw@miamioh.edu" target="_blank">bazelejw@miamioh.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr" class="m_-5277562628551889615gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Ed,</div><div><br></div><div>We began a subscription to the full LibInsight product last year and I've been populating it with usage statistics and other stats over the last six months or so. Like all of the other usage products out there, it requires some initial time investment to get everything entered and set up. The usage reports feature allows you to store your vendor log-in data, cost data, and license files alongside the usage for the platform. As someone else mentioned, Springshare just added automated SUSHI harvesting, which was a much needed feature. Set-up of SUSHI credentials is pretty straightforward and the SUSHI server works as well as any of the other stats services I've used. The issues that come up are the same as those you would see with any of the stats products--errors in entering credentials and server URLs, changing credentials/URLs on the vendor's side, and vendors who claim to be COUNTER/SUSHI compliant but actually are not. Otherwise everything works as advertised. </div><div><br></div><div>The data analysis is pretty robust and you can also do cross-tabular data analysis, comparing usage stats against whatever other kind of data you've uploaded (plus Springshare data from any other modules that you subscribe to), which is pretty cool. Reports can be entered manually or through upload of csv files, so lots of flexibility in getting reports and stats into the system, which is great. For non-usage reports, you have a wide range of options in setting up and uploading your data--quite adaptable.</div><div><br></div><div>The current challenges I have with LibInsight:</div><div>-currently only supports DBR1, PR1, JR1 and BR1, 2, and 5. I'm very curious to see how Springshare will address the changes that will accompany COUNTER 5 next year.</div><div>-email notifications that you get post-SUSHI harvest for transactions with errors identify your platforms by a LibInsight ID number rather than the name of the platform, which adds a few extra steps when troubleshooting the problematic platform</div><div><br></div><div>Feel free to contact me directly if you have additional or specific questions!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Jennifer Bazeley</div><div><br></div><div>Coordinator, Collection Access & Acquisitions</div><div><a href="http://www.lib.miamioh.edu/" target="_blank">Miami University Libraries</a></div><div>King Library 312</div><div>Oxford, OH 45056</div><div>p. 513.529.4216 | e. <a href="mailto:bazelejw@miamioh.edu" target="_blank">bazelejw@miamioh.edu</a></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Jul 25, 2018 at 9:37 AM Eduardo Gil <<a href="mailto:gile@mail.montclair.edu" target="_blank">gile@mail.montclair.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Good morning to you all,<br>
<br>
Our library currently subscribes to several of the Sprinshare <br>
components. Now looking into getting a trial and pricing for <br>
LibInsights, the full version which includes usage statistics for <br>
databases, e-journals and e-books. Are any of you using LibInsight and <br>
what do you think the usual pro's and con's. Greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Have a wonderful and safe rest of summer<br>
