There is currently no way to get FT requests per database from COUNTER 4 for multi-database platforms like ProQuest, EBSCO, Gale, etc.

In COUNTER 4, the closest you can come to measuring FT per database is Result Clicks or Record Views from DB1 report.

Hi, which Counter report (if any) do you use for full text requests by database? That's the statistic our liaisons, who review these stats for renewal decisions, ask for most. We can find this statistic through custom reports in some databases, but not all.

Ditto>..what Athena said. We store all the COUNTER usage data on a share drive and from this data we create a comprehensive spreadsheet. We provide three years data with cost comparison and renewal dates/decisions columns. Our spreadsheet has following columns:

We do basically the same at UCF.  All COUNTER stats are saved folders (one per vendor) on a shared drive. Stats are compiled into annual and fiscal year reports by placing the data into excel with a tab for each COUNTER report type.

I save usage statistics to a shared drive. We don't have any specialized software and never got SUSHI to work with our ILS.

Specifically, at least for vendors where the stats aren't reported oddly and are not complex, I create a new tab on a spreadsheet and save a complete year. Incomplete years are noted as such on the tab.

Hello, all.

Quick question, if you don't mind.  Do you store database and journal usage reports or do you just keep a record of specific statistics? Or both? Or some other workflow?
Thanks!
