[Eril-l] Overall ER Usage Overview

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Dear Colleagues,

Our library director would like to have an overview of the library usage
for years 2020-2024. He has the concrete print book loan stats, instruction
stats, and gate counts so far, and would like something similar for the
electronic resources. I told him that usage numbers are a little different
for the electronic resources, because during those years, we had various
factors. JSTOR offered free COVID access to their resources, EBSCO started
to offer COUNTER stats (so I switched from their in-house to COUNTER), also
we have access to many databases through our consortium. Some of the
journals changed from P to E during those years. OverDrive books don't even
use COUNTER.

Have any of you had experience with something like this? What numbers (or
criteria) do you include? What measures do you consider for an overview?

Thank you in advance,

Chris
