Summary
"White and Kamal show how to use e-metrics to measure library performance and value in the digital age. With this book, you can learn how to use effectively the electronic data captured from various network activities to manage library collections, budgets, and services. Using e-metrics, the authors identify expensive and underused digital resources, visualize virtual user behaviour patterns, and construct new collection development strategies."--BOOK JACKET.
