EzPAARSE is open source software that analyses your locally gathered proxy logfiles and provides you with COUNTER-deduplicated, KBART-formatted and geolocalised reports of your users’ accesses to subscribed e-resources. Come and watch us demo it live to understand how it works and learn how to install it in your institution for producing your own enriched measures and indicators.

About some well-known facts
● $25 billion global revenue in 2012, + 4-5 % / year
● The 4 biggest publishers make up half the market
● For 10 years the price of most journals increases from 3% to
5% / year
● 1.5 billion articles downloaded per year and by 10M users

6. UKSG 38th Annual Conference: Glasgow - 2015/03/30 & 31
the ezPAARSE solution :
→ locally-gathered usage quantification
Vendors are the only source
These numbers just offer mere quantification
→ We need to assess these
numbers
→ We need to qualify them

Opaque URLs : session ids, encryption… (Ex: EbscoHOST platform)

Publisher IDs, needing to be linked to a knowledge base (ex: Cairn)
http://www.cairn.info/load_pdf.php?ID_ARTICLE=RFG_218_0009
- Opaque URLs (session ids, encryption…)
- Knowledge bases having to be manually edited
But some limitations apply...
