[Eril-l] Usage Statistical Tool

[Amy Lynn Fry]

We just purchased EBSCO's product. We liked RedLink a lot but their product didn't currently offer the right view of the stats for the decisions we need to make this semester. They are still developing it and are very responsive to suggestions, it just couldn't work on our timeline. We have tried to use 360 COUNTER and never got it to work for us. Springshare's product likewise didn't output the data we needed. We are in the process of implementing the EBSCO product.

We're in the exact same situation at UNCW. At my previous library we used 360 Counter from Serials Solutions, and then LibInsight from Springshare.

Hi everyone a very healthy and happy 2018!  Need to see how some of you gather usage statistics for databases.  We are looking into Red Link. EBSCO has their usage consolidation tool.  I believe OCLC also has a tool.  For years I've been doing this manually exporting usage stats to an Excel spreadsheet.  More interested in number of searches and downloads.

Any suggestions.  Thank you and have a great year

Ed
