Speakers:

Lorraine Estelle is the COUNTER Project Director. Launched in March
2002, COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic
Resources) is an international initiative serving librarians,
publishers and intermediaries by setting standards that facilitate the
recording and reporting of online usage statistics in a consistent,
credible and compatible way.

Lorraine is experienced in the information industry with a background
in libraries, consortia, shared services, vendors and publishers. She
has managed and conducted a wide range of projects, with a particular
interest in new business models for electronic information resources
and has directed the development of a number of UK national shared
services including Jisc Collections and the Journals Usage Statistics
Portal.

Oliver Pesch works as a product strategist for EBSCO Information

has been involved with COUNTER since the outset serving on the
Executive Committee, the Technical Advisory Group and, most recently,

He is co-chair of the NISO KBART Automation Working Group and also
