The Results Are In: Increasing the use of digital resources is easier than you think

NCCCLRA Conference 2014 Emily Guhde, Online Services Librarian Heather Klein, Member Services Librarian

Today’s Session • Describe what, according to our study, community college libraries with high use of NC LIVE resources do differently from their peers • Based on those results, identify actions we think community college libraries can take to increase use of digital resources

Questions from NC LIVE Member Libraries: What kind of use should we be seeing for our library? What can we do to improve use of these resources?

“Making Usage Data Meaningful” Research Project • Year-long study • NC LIVE member libraries’ usage data (per FTE) • Five NC LIVE-provided databases – – – – –
