Abstract

In 2017–18 Leeds Beckett University Library undertook a project to assess the feasibility of using OpenAthens and student record data to enable in-depth analysis of learning resources usage and costs, student engagement and library impact. This article describes the different approaches taken to evaluate usage of the Library’s e-resources to identify levels of engagement at school and course level. These include evaluating the impact of induction attendance on e-resource usage, reviewing school e-resource usage and return on investment, analysing usage trends at school and year level and examining the correlation between National Student Survey (NSS) results and e-resource usage for specific courses. The project confirmed the feasibility of using OpenAthens and student record data for in-depth analysis of learning resources usage, student engagement and library impact. Successful analysis was performed for schools, courses and levels of study and provided significant insight that informed resource provision and NSS action. Library managers, academic librarians and academics have consequently engaged with and benefited from the project and its outputs. This article builds on a breakout session presented at the 42nd UKSG Annual Conference in April 2019.

使用、参与和影响:评估利兹贝克特大学图书馆资源的使用和测量影响和参与

2017-18年，利兹贝克特大学图书馆承担了一个项目，评估使用OpenAthens和学生记录数据的可行性，以便深入分析学习资源的使用和成本、学生参与度和图书馆的影响。本文描述了评估图书馆电子资源使用情况的不同方法，以确定学校和课程层面的参与程度。这些包括评估入职出勤对电子资源使用的影响，审查学校电子资源的使用和投资回报，分析学校和学年的使用趋势，以及检查全国学生调查(NSS)结果与特定课程电子资源使用之间的相关性。该项目证实了使用OpenAthens和学生记录数据来深入分析学习资源使用情况、学生参与度和图书馆影响的可行性。对学校、课程和学习水平进行了成功的分析，并为资源提供和NSS行动提供了重要的见解。因此，图书馆管理人员、学术图书管理员和学者参与了该项目及其成果并从中受益。本文以2019年4月第42届UKSG年会上的分组讨论为基础。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
