Overview

The toolkit was originally developed in order to present a framework and best practices in measuring usage and impact of digitised scholarly resources.  We envisaged that the toolkit would be useful to:

• content creators and publishers
• Information professionals and content managers in charge of maintaining and developing digital collections
• librarians, archivists and institutional staff involved in digitisation efforts
• representatives of funding and evaluation bodies

We hope that the toolkit will also be useful to:

• researchers and research directors interested in learning about alternative methods of measuring impact
• early career researchers concerned about ways of demonstrating the impact of their online activities
• those interested in understanding the impact of distributing materials online
