Deep Log Analysis Study
JISC national e-books observatory project: deep log analysis study
JISC Collections, in association with UK Higher Education, is launching a significant e-book project that will assess impacts, observe behaviours and develop new models to stimulate the UK higher education e-books market. The national e-books observatory project aims to fund and license collections of e-books that are highly relevant to UK higher education taught course students in four disciplines and evaluate the use of the e-books through deep log analysis. Knowledge acquired during the project will be shared with publishers, aggregators and libraries to help encourage an e-books market that has appropriate business and licensing models.
The deep log analysis study tender invites proposals to undertake a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the e-books made freely available to the UK higher education community as part of the project. Deep log analysis techniques should be used to monitor, analyse and evaluate the use of the e-books by students. The empirical data collected will be shared with the project partners to inform future e-book licensing, pricing and promotion strategies.
The official notice for the deep log analysis tender is available in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union which can be accessed via Tenders Electronic Daily The notice reference number is 59325-2007.
