This webinar will introduce a new metric for evaluating the cost effectiveness of Serials: Net Cost Per Paid Use (NCPPU). NCPPU goes beyond the standard Cost Per Use calculation to exclude free content (OA and back catalog), incorporate ILL costs, and value citation and authorship.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the webinar, attendees will:
- understand what net cost per paid use (NCPPU) is
- understand the pros and cons of using NCPPU instead of the more common Cost Per Use for managing serials
- be able to calculate NCPPU for their institution
Who Should Attend
Academic librarians looking to improve the evaluation of their serials, either with an eye to saving money (by unsubscribing from journals which aren't cost effective) or regaining control of their budgets
