11. JISC Activity Data Programme http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/inf11/activitydata.aspx AEIOU - Aberystwyth University - usage statistics from Welsh HEIs repositories and use this data to present searchers with recommendations. Agtivity - University of Manchester - collect usage data from people using the Advanced Video Conferencing services supported by the Access Grid Support Centre. Exposing VLE Activity Data - University of Cambridge - bring together activity and attention data for Cambridge's institutional virtual learning environment (based on the Sakai software) Library Impact Data - Huddersfield University - prove a statistically significant correlation between library usage and student attainment. The project will collect anonymised data from University of Bradford, De Montfort University, University of Exeter, University of Lincoln, Liverpool John Moores University, University of Salford, Teesside University as well as Huddersfield.
12. JISC Activity Data Programme http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/inf11/activitydata.aspx Salt - University of Manchester - SALT will experiment with 10 years of library circulation data from the John Rylands University Library to support humanities research by making underused "long tail" materials easier to find. STAR-Trak:NG - Leeds Metropolitan University - an application to highlight and manage interventions with students who are at risk of dropping out by mining student activity data held in corporate systems. UCIAD - Open University - UCIAD will investigate the use of semantic technologies for integrating user activity data from different systems within a University. Synthesis project - University of Manchester – to draw out wider issues by working with projects and to help to define future work of the Programme
13. JISC Activity Data Programme Related Activities http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/inf11/activitydata.aspx The JISC RAPTOR project is investigating ways to explore usage of e-resources. PIRUS is a project investigating the extension of Counter statistics to cover article level usage of electronic journals. The Journal Usage Statistics Portal is developing a usage statistics portal for libraries to manage statistics about electronic journal usage. The Using OpenURL activity data project EDINA will take forward the recommendations of the Shared OpenURL Data Infrastructure Investigation to explore releasing OpenURL activity data for use by third parties
At the heart of the project is the hypothesis, and JISC are interested in how we will be testing it as we go
WP 2 – building the recommendations database from the ezproxy data, creating algorithms for recommendations and building a search interface WP3 – understanding if and how we could release aggregated and anonymised search data WP4 – create a google gadget EDS search WP5 – evaluation WP6 – dissemination and programme engagement with the synthesis project that has been funded by JISC
Three types of recommendations People on your course are searching for this People who searched for this searched for this – matching articles found in the same search This article is like that article – subject matching
For example the MOSAIC project took data from Huddersfield covering book loans and setup a competition. Entries included an example where you picked books you were interested in and the system recommended courses for you based on which courses students who borrowed the books were studying
AEIOU – aim is to create more traffic on the Inst.repositories through use of recommendations. Agtivity – aim is to evaluate use of VC “nodes” and provide support where necessary. VLE – to inform management and improve the VLE
SALT = Surfacing the Academic Long Tail
OU taking part in RAPTOR, aware of PIRUS and have joined JUSP. RAPTOR: building a software toolkit for reporting e- resource usage statistics (Cardiff and Kidderminster). PRIUS will enable the usage of research outputs to be recorded, reported and consolidated at a global level in a standard way. JUSP a "one-stop shop" for libraries to view, download and analyse their usage reports We’ve also talked to EDINA about the OpenURL project
