E-Metrics: Tools for Measuring Usage of Electronic Resources
Abstract
Libraries are spending large proportion of their budget on the subscription of information resources (print and electronic resources). Since the early 2000's increasing percentage of library budget has been shifted to the purchase of e-resources. The usage data of e-resources provided by the publishers and aggregators to libraries, proved to be helpful for libraries and decision makers in selecting best possible resources for their users. In yesteryear's many e-metrics tools had been developed and are in continuous experiments so to develop reliable, consistent and on time usage data. The present study discusses the various e-metrics tools and their advantages and limitations.
