[Eril-l] SUSHI and LibInsight

[Jill.emery]

Hi All,

I cannot more highly recommend the use of the USUS web site for questions such as this one. Check it out here: http://www.usus.org.uk

This site gives you a direct contact to COUNTER & NISO to work with publishers to insure compliance is as uniform as possible for both COUNTER & NISO's SUSHI.

Thanks,

Jill

Just because a vendor offers SUSHI reports does not mean it’s straightforward to get it going. Sometimes there are significant hurdles to overcome to get it working properly. And perhaps most importantly, it has not reached anywhere near the saturation point in terms of vendor provision that COUNTER has.
