dc.description.abstract | Presentation given as part of the LyrOpen Fair 2024, session 3: Open Institutional Repository Usage Statistics (IRUS) on Thursday April 18, 2024. For those interested in institutional repositories and assessment of institutional research and scholarship activity, this session will bring together a panel of experts using IRUS (Institutional Repository Usage Statistics) to obtain openly available standardized usage statistics for item and platform level views and downloads. We will discuss the benefits of open usage stats, as well as broader challenges such as understanding whether, how, and where repository materials are used or referenced after they are viewed or downloaded. | en_US |
