[Eril-l] Ebook Statistics: Software Solutions? Best practices?

[Dominic Benson (Staff)]

Hi, Adrian!

We are fortunate to have a SUSHI service run by the UK consortium, Jisc, called JUSP. It ingests monthly usage statistics for several ebook providers - all staff can sign in to view the reports.

We also subscribe to 360 COUNTER to harvest SUSHI reports from other ebook providers. Relevant staff could be given permission to access the reports on the sister product, Intota Asessment.

I would not want to use an additional silo like a separate ERM, unless we migrated to a Unified Library Platform Service with an automated workflow.

Kind regards,

Hi, all!

How do you compile ebook title level usage statistics and provide access to your selectors for collection development and weeding?

Like many of us, our ebook platforms have grown substantially over the past few years and we are searching for a better means of tracking title level usage statistics. Our current method of downloading myriad COUNTER 5 Book Requests reports from vendor admin profiles and combining them into one giant spreadsheet is time consuming and the results are difficult to parse.

Is there a software solution? We have an ERM but it doesn't have the ability to import this type of COUNTER report. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated!

Best,

Adrian
