Statistical Tool for Licence Acquisition (STOLA) Lene Stampe, Roskilde University Library Anette Schneider, Technical Information Center of Denmark
Participants Project owner: Danish Electronic Research Library (DEFF) Participating universities: - Aalborg University Library - State and University Library - Copenhagen University Library - Roskilde University Library - University Library of Southern Denmark - CBS Library - Technical Information Center of Denmark
The aim of the project To create an improved basis for decisions regarding journal acquisition (licenses) to support research and development at the Danish universities By examining the researchers publishing, citation and reference methods By demonstrating the use of university library budgets on license purchases
The goal of the project Help to identify whether the choice of materials is adequate in relation to researchers' publishing behavior. Analyses of data will help clarify which journals and licenses should be top priority on the shopping lists of university libraries. Results can be used in close conjunction with the Bibliometric Research Indicator and could be linked to any future analyses of specific and "hot or not" research areas and strategies.
Existing statistics Download statistics (retrospective) shows knowledge about the use of subscribed licenses Turn away statistics shows knowledge about titles/years in existing licenses to which users try to get access Interlibrary Loan statistics provide knowledge about journals ordered by users from other libraries
