What do users like about JUSP? "Evidence-based library decisions rely on the timely analysis of usage statistics. JUSP has quickly matured into a highly valued service largely due to the team's skill in solving problems and presenting complex data within a clear and well-structured user interface. ” “The project has a real community feel to it, in that it actively responds to user input and I think it is a really good example of collaborative working something we should be striving towards to avoid us needing to reinvent the wheel! I think the team has worked very well with libraries in seeking their input. ” "The more publishers you can get on board the better! The JUSP portal is already proving to be invaluable to us. "

Implications for the community • Providing support and guidance to the community • Knowledge sharing within the UK and with overseas consortia • SUSHI client available as free, open source software • Ongoing consultation with libraries and publishers http: //www. flickr. com/photos/shareconference/5422273956/
