SUSHI对电子资源规范化管理的影响

SUSHI是标准化使用统计获取协议,可促成使用统计数据格式的一致性,实现数据获取和管理过程的自动化。在推动电子资源规范化管理的宏观背景下,对SUSHI的广泛遵从对于推进图书馆联盟电子资源集团采购统计评估工作规范化,带动国内图书馆ERMS的研发和实施,促进基于电子资源生命周期管理流程的规范化,加速电子资源使用统计标准化进程具有深远影响。图书馆和数据库商应积极响应,共同促进电子资源使用统计自动获取和规范管理。     

SUSHI标准通过美国国家标准学会认证

美国信息标准化组织（NISO）的Z39．93标准,即标准化使用统计收获协议（SUSHI）,日前通过了美国国家标准学会（ANsI）的最终认证。这一标准运用了网络服务框架,定义了一个对电子资源使用数据的自动化请求和反应的模型。同时,这一协议还包括了一项特别处理“计数”（COUNTER）使用报告的扩展性设计。     

电子资源使用统计平台USSER的设计与实现

[目的/意义] 研究应用电子资源使用统计平台有效地分析与利用COUNTER使用统计数据。[方法/过程] 通过文献综述法,研究国内外电子资源使用统计现状及COUNTER使用统计标准。以案例分析法,详细介绍深圳大学图书馆基于COUNTER使用统计数据研发的电子资源使用统计平台USSER的系统设计思路和实现,包括平台设计方案、统计数据类型、使用统计数据的收集、报表的呈现、使用统计数据分析与应用。[结果/结论] USSER可以从多个不同信息来源收集与整合COUNTER格式的报告,通过SUSHI协议自动收割统计数据,并生成各种统计报表。深入分析USSER统计报表,可帮助图书馆改善及提高电子资源服务水平。未来将从构建电子资源使用统计门户、实现全部电子资源使用统计数据的管理、进一步推进SUSHI的应用、丰富数据报表等方面完善USSER的功能。电子资源使用统计平台对于图书馆具有重要的应用价值。     

电子资源使用统计收割标准SUSHI的实施与应用研究

电子资源使用统计收割标准SUSHI是一个为自动收割COUNTER格式的使用数据而制订的数据采集与传递的标准协议,于2007年成为NISO标准。目前,图书馆和数据库商对如何使用SUSHI仍比较迷茫,并不清楚各自需要做哪些准备工作以实现利用SUSHI自动收割使用数据。2014年2月,中国高校图书馆数字资源采购联盟倡议实现组团数据库使用数据按月自动化收割与规范化管理,重新引发国内图书馆及数据库商对SUSHI的关注。为加深国内图书馆及数据库商对SUSHI的理解与认知,并推进SUSHI的应用,本文梳理国内外SUSHI的实施与应用现状,从SUSHI客户端和服务器端两个层面解析SUSHI实施与应用的具体流程与步骤,并通过剖析英国JUSP和中国DRAA电子资源使用统计模块两个联盟的应用案例,呈现SUSHI应用的具体操作细节,揭开SUSHI实施与应用的神秘面纱。意识层面、技术层面和标准层面的因素推动或阻碍了SUSHI的实施与应用,建议要基于利益相关者来推动SUSHI的实施与应用。参考文献29。     

新版COUNTER的特征及未来发展

本文通过对比COUNTER第四版与第三版,发现第四版在如下方面具有很多新特征。在文档结构上,使用一个规范代替原来的两个规范;在术语及测量指标方面,新增"金色开放获取"、"多媒体全文内容单元"、"记录浏览"、"结果点击"等术语;在数据元素上,新增数字对象标识符、所有权标识符及机构标识符;在使用报告上,新增开放获取文章的使用统计报告、多媒体资源使用报告及基于移动设备的使用报告,并对原有报告做了不少调整;在审核上,新增对SUSHI协议遵循情况的审核。未来的COUNTER将继续探索与SUSHI的结合应用,探索新的期刊测量指标,增加文章级的使用评价指标。     

COUNTER Release 5的新特征及其应用研究

COUNTER Release 5旨在应对不断变化的电子资源,提供可靠、一致和可对比的使用统计数据。文章分析了COUNTER Release 5的规范并探索其在中国高校图书馆数字资源采购联盟(DRAA)中的应用。研究发现,与COUNTER Release 4相比,Release 5有了明显的变化,包括定义了全新的报告体系、统计指标类型、RESTful SUSHI接口等技术细节。为在DRAA中应用COUNTER Release 5,需要从两个方面改进:一是让统计模块兼容COUNTER Release 5的数据模型,使COUNTER Release 5的统计数据可以融入现有的统计模型;二是需要新增RESTful SUSHI接口的客户端及文件解析器,让系统可以获取并解析到COUNTER Release 5的报告。     

SUSHI-网络电子资源利用与统计数据获取协议

SUSHI是一个数据采集、传递的标准协议,为图书馆提供了更加高效、方便的获取本馆电子资源利用统计数据的手段。该文详细介绍了该规范的起源、架构、核心内容以及相关应用。     

EBSCO发布EBSCONET使用整合工具以简化使用数据的管理

EBSCO发布了EBSCONET使用整合工具,旨在帮助图书馆员收集、整理和报告在线资源使用情况。该工具成本效益高,能让图书馆员从任何兼容COUNTER(联网电子资源在线使用情况统计)格式的内容提供商中加载报告,支持COUNTER报告的手动加载,也支持SUSHI(规范使用情况统计数据收割倡议)的自动收割和加载。报告的功能选项     

基于XML的馆藏书目和电子资源OPAC统一检索

针对目前图书馆馆藏资源与电子资源分散的问题,提出了使用XML(ExtensibleMarkup Language可扩展标记语言)技术构建元数据转换中间平台对异构的馆藏与电子资源进行整合的解决方案。该方案利用HTTP(Hyper TextTransfer Protocol超文本传输协议)协议模拟登录并访问“书生之家”电子资源,实现了馆藏书目与电子资源的OPAC(Online Public Access Catalog联机书目公共查询)统一检索。该文对系统的总体结构及其关键技术进行了介绍与分析。     

NISO提出共享电子资源谅解备忘录的最佳实践

美国国家信息标准化组织（NISO）提出了SERU（Shanng E—Resources Understanding）——共享电子资源谅解备忘录,将没有许可协议就完成了电子资源销售的最佳实践编程案例,在其网站上可以免费获取（http：／／www．niso．org／committees／seru／）。     

Implementing SUSHI and COUNTER: A Primer for Librarians

Project Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources (COUNTER) released its first code of practice in 2002. Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) was introduced in 2007 as a way of automating the harvesting of COUNTER reports. Both initiatives have been well adopted yet there is still confusion about how to implement SUSHI. This column offers a primer for library staff wanting to take advantage of the benefits of SUSHI. It starts with a quick review of both COUNTER and SUSHI, then covers options for SUSHI clients, examines SUSHI configuration requirements, demonstrates how to use SUSHI to obtain a COUNTER report and shows an example of working with a COUNTER Journal Reports in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format to create a spreadsheet with a simple cost-per-use and package analysis. By the end the reader should gain enough knowledge to configure a SUSHI client, successfully harvest COUNTER statistics and to perform some basic analysis on that usage.     

Simplifying Usage Statistics: What's Next for SUSHI

Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) is the key to automating the harvesting of Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources (COUNTER) usage statistics. Whether librarians are aware of it or not, SUSHI is a critical standard for measuring and monitoring the use of library online collections, eliminating hours of painstaking effort that would otherwise be required to locate, retrieve, and load usage reports. However, needs are evolving and standards like SUSHI need to evolve too. In this column I will examine some of the challenges facing SUSHI and how the National Information Standards Organization SUSHI Standing Committee is proactively addressing the challenges with its effort to develop a more flexible and easier-to-implement version of SUSHI.     

SUSHI: simplifying the delivery of usage statistics

In 2005, SUSHI became the latest buzzword in the library community. This article (and this kind of SUSHI) refers to usage data, not raw fish. The growth of online collections has resulted in libraries demanding that publishers provide detailed usage data to allow them to better manage their collections and purchases. The Project COUNTER Code of Practice was created in response to this need; however, it did not address the painstaking task of collection and management of the usage data. SUSHI is a new protocol developed to allow for automated retrieval of COUNTER usage reports from publishers and other content providers.     

Perfecting COUNTER and SUSHI to Achieve Reliable Usage Analysis

The Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources (COUNTER) Code of Practice and Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) are two standards whose successful adoption will greatly assist librarians in performing accurate and timely usage analysis of their online collections and thus make more informed collection management decisions. Variations in how these standards have been applied by content providers to their SUSHI and COUNTER implementation are currently impacting their widespread adoption. The standards themselves are not broken—what is needed is concise guidelines on their implementation. This column reviews some of the roadblocks that impede consistent implementation of these standards as well as proposes recommendations that could form the basis of a community profile for these standards.     

JUSP in time: a partnership approach to developing a journal usage statistics portal

The Journal Usage Statistics Portal (JUSP) service is expanding rapidly, and aims to encompass all NESLi2‐participating publishers by the end of 2011, together with all UK higher‐education institutions subscribing to deals from those publishers. A key part of the success of JUSP will be the implementation of the Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) protocol for automatic harvesting of usage statistics directly from publishers. This article outlines development of the service and describes how JUSP is working with Oxford University Press to deliver usage statistics to libraries. We also describe future developments at JUSP, including the creation of our own SUSHI server, and explain how new initiatives and enhancements are developed and rolled out in conjunction with our participating institutions.     

Usage Factor for Journals: A New Measure for Scholarly Impact

This presentation described the history and ongoing development of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) for libraries, agents, and publishers. The focus was on the newer international initiatives and developments, such as SUSHI (Standard Usage Statistical Harvesting Initiative), which can supply data directly to library Electronic Resource Management (ERM) systems. While the full promise of accurate machine-to-machine interchanges, which can enter data into our respective systems within seconds, is yet to be achieved, there is much work under way to develop and improve EDI protocols and standards.
