Abstract

It is critical to identify the most efficient and effective means to gather and compare e-statistics for a range of electronic services that libraries provide. Since the mid-nineties projects have been underway by the ICOLC, the D-Lib Working Group, the ARL, EQUINOX partners and many others to develop performance measures based on e-statistics. As scholarly communication in Australia is in crisis having relevant and comparable e-statistics to help manage collections is crucial. This paper covers the University of Queensland Cybrary’s perspective on factors influencing successful use of e-resources, include user friendliness of systems, accessibility and promotion of the resources. The effectiveness of e-statistics measures is also covered.

Abstract

International Surgery had been a print journal for over seventy years until 2012, when it was transitioned to an online only format. A University of Queensland (UQ) Library consultant worked with key staff from the International College of Surgeons, publisher of the journal, to explore the opportunities available to transition the journal online. A range of platforms were reviewed and assessed. The transformation was a success, achieving expansion of the options available to researchers from the adoption of Open Access publishing and Creative Commons. The extreme makeover for International Surgery by the close of 2013 resulted in resuscitation of this important journal.
