The University of Tennessee (University of Tennessee, School of Information Sciences)

The University of Tennessee School of Information Sciences will provide models to help librarians maximize their use of data about how electronic resources are being used by comparing different methods of data collection and use, including different levels and techniques of usage log data analysis and different kinds of surveys. The researchers will measure the costs and benefits of each method studied. The Centre for Information Behaviour and the Evaluation of Research (CIBER) of the City University of London will analyze the usage log data, which will be provided by the multi-library consortium OhioLink and the University of Tennessee.
