[Eril-l] COUNTER4 report harvesting?

[Chan Li]

Hell all,

We at California Digital Library have been using ScholarlyStats for years to collect COUNTER usage stats for journals, databases and ebooks. ScholarlyStats was the brand name and platform under which MPS’s library statistics reporting module was marketed to libraries by Swets Information Services, which declared bankruptcy in September of 2014. Since then, we have moved to MPS Insight for Libraries, which is  based in India with U.S. offices and has a long history of providing usage statistics services to both publishers and libraries. MPS offers COUNTER JR1, JR1a, JR2, JR3, DB1, DB2, PR1, BR1, BR2 to our libraries. They are not all the COUNTER reports. We would also like them to add JR5 to the list. I have requested a year ago. I think I will request it again.

Thanks,
Chan

I received a sales call from MPS Insight for Libraries last week.  They are offering service to libraries.  It sounded like they might have purchased ScholarlyStats.  I can forward their brochure if you would like.  I understood him to say that they do collect all COUNTER reports offered, but not sure at what cost.  I agree that these other types of reports would be very useful to import and have asked Ebsco to offer that as part of their service.  So far, they have not done this.

Hello, all.
I would like to find a service or tool that will harvest for us all available COUNTER4 reports from all of our compliant vendors. But so far I've the tools/services I know of, including Proquest's and EBSCO's as well as a couple of open source options, only get a few of the reports, most notably JR1 but missing the very important JR2 and JR5.
This might actually be a problem with the SUSHI standard being out of date - I'm a bit fuzzy on that.

Does anyone have a SUSHI or other solution for harvesting ALL of the COUNTER4 reports from your vendors aside from doing it manually?

Thanks!
