E-resources usage statistics for University of Rwanda

The UR-Sweden Programme for Research is organizing a workshop about how to generate and handle statistics of e-resources usage. This time we are focusing on how to work with the statistics for one institution, namely the University of Rwanda. Previous years INASP has provided statistics for usage in Rwanda, not statistics for the individual institutions (with some exceptions).
Eva Norling from BTH is facilitating the workshop, assisted by Anna Stockman. Participants are Benilde Mukarubayiza and Bernadette Nyiratunga, who are both members of the E-resources functional committee.
The workshop takes place in Huye from July 5-7.
