Real libraries. Real timelines. Real constraints. In this session, Athena Hoeppner (University of Central Florida) and Betsy Tucker (Kansas State University) will share how they’re navigating the shift to COUNTER R5.1—what’s working, what wasn’t, and what they’d do differently next time.
What to expect
- Transition playbooks: how they planned the move from R5 → R5.1, set expectations with stakeholders, and kept trendlines comparable.
- Data continuity in practice: handling gaps, late data, and “R5.1-but-not-quite” reports; validating at scale.
- SUSHI realities: credentials, endpoints, throttling, date windows—and the fixes that actually stick.
- Dashboards & reporting: minimizing breakage in KPIs, communicating changes to leadership and faculty.
- Collaboration with vendors/consortia: what helps, what hinders, and how to get to “done”.
Who should attend
Librarians, e-resources managers, consortia staff, and anyone living with usage stats day-to-day. Come for the war stories, leave with checklists and shortcuts you can use immediately—no matter which tools you run.
