[Eril-l] Usage Statistic Reports

[Beth M. Johns]

I tend to gather COUNTER statistics. PR1, JR1, BR1, BR2. I will look at ebook turnaways for something that really sticks out, like a title getting multiple turnaways or access denied for journal titles and then provide that to the appropriate liaison for further consideration.


I wouldn't say I ignore other statistics since some of them provide interesting information, but the COUNTER stats are the ones I tend to focus on and report to my director.

Subject: [Eril-l] Usage Statistic Reports

Hi, all! I inherited a usage data report when I started my job a few years ago. I want to revamp it and I was curious as to what other institutions reported on. I want to shape our report around the IPEDS and ACRL survey that we have to fill out. Any suggestions on what I should include or leave out? There isn't much else that I HAVE to report to the dean or university.  At the moment, I calculate e-book and journal counts from EBSCO, ProQuest, and some of our smaller databases as well as discovery tool numbers.

Thanks!

Jessica
