In 2022, Seton Hall University, Salem Community College, and Rowan University initiated a subscription to an innovative platform called CELUS – a cloud based platform for the management of e-resource usage statistics. Since then, nearly 400 libraries from more than 30 countries have made CELUS the cornerstone of their e-resource usage workflow.
Please join Ken DiFiore, Library Ambassador at CELUS, for a review of the platform’s key features: SUSHI harvesting, COUNTER report analysis, non-COUNTER metrics, and publisher cost-per-use. In addition, Lisa Thorton, Acquisitions and Collections Librarian at Seton Hall, will share how her library uses CELUS.
