Meet our Speakers
Tasha Mellins-Cohen
Founder and Executive Director of COUNTER Metrics
If you work with usage stats, you already know Tasha Mellins-Cohen. As Executive Director of COUNTER Metrics, she’s one of the leading voices shaping how our community measures and interprets usage. Tasha has authored friendly guides, shepherded countless implementations, and seems to give three excellent talks before breakfast. She brings equal parts clarity and pragmatism to thorny metrics questions—exactly what we all need for the R5 → R5.1 shift. We’re very grateful she’s joining us to share what’s new and how to keep everyone’s trendlines sane.
Beda Kosata
Lead Developer of CELUS
Meet Beda Košata, the brain behind CELUS. As our lead developer, he has a rare superpower: translating real-world librarian needs into clean, reliable features (sometimes while winning at table tennis). Beda is also a member of the COUNTER Metrics Code team and the developer of the COUNTER Validation Tool, which means he doesn’t just implement standards — he helps shape them. For this webinar, he’ll focus on the practical side of the R5 → R5.1 transition: how to keep your trends intact, your dashboards comparable, and your sanity preserved.
