Project RAPTOR

Given the current economic climate and likelihood of tightening funding, understanding the usage of e-resources is becoming increasingly important as it allows an institution to understand which resources they need to keep subscribing to, and those which they may wish to unsubscribe from - potentially resulting in real-world cost savings.

The RAPTOR project, ​funded by JISC, is therefore building a software toolkit for reporting e-resource usage statistics in a user-friendly manner suitable for non-technical staff. It will perform a requirements gathering exercise, talking to staff within the project institutions, a group of pilot institutions, interested parties, and via an open call for ideas.
