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

[Heidi Card]

Hello!

Thank you for asking this question - I've wanted to get an idea of what other folks do, too, as I work without an ERM. My method has consisted separate spreadsheets that I add together, rather than one long one. I have also been working with LibInsight (via Springshare), which allows us to set up SUSHI for *some* resources. But I've found many inconsistencies with it (and lots of error fetching via SUSHI), and end up going back to the vendors to verify the numbers. I've always felt more comfortable going directly to the vendor.

I look forward to hearing what other folks are doing!


Best,

Heidi

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
