RESOURCE: Recording available for IRUS-USA Webinar

The Digital Library Federation (DLF) has made available recordings and slides from its March 23, 2018 webinar on institutional repositories and usage statistics. From the description:

IRUS-USA (Institutional Repository Usage Statistics USA) is an experimental collaboration between Jisc and the Digital Library Federation (DLF) at CLIR. Based on the successful IRUS-UK model and with the support of DLF’s Assessment Interest Group (the DLF-AIG), IRUS-USA provides COUNTER-compliant usage statistics for content downloaded from DLF member institutions whose repositories are participating in the pilot project.

The webinar will be useful for those interested in learning about methods for visualizing, measuring, and comparing usage statistics from their repositories. The pilot project will conclude this summer.
