“Basics of Citation Metrics” offered to library staff covers Web of Knowledge platform tools (WoS, Journal
Citation Reports, ESI), Scopus (altmetric) and journal comparison tool, Google Scholar, and My Citations. “Impact
Measurements” webinars open to all—but attended mostly by university faculty, graduate students, and staff—covers
