[Eril-l] [EXT] Alt Usage Stats

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

We try to map irregular usage metrics to the COUNTER metric that is most similar, with the caveat that it is non-COUNTER.  Something like this, I might consider reporting as "Total Investigations", if I could verify that a 'hit' is similar to a search page view.

You might also ask if they could report the # of sessions.

Subject: [EXT] [Eril-l] Alt Usage Stats

Hello,

I hope you can help me with an issue. We have a specialized eresource and the vendor is not able to provide any other usage stats except hits from our IP addresses. They state that the average user tends to record 10 hits per session. Have you ever encountered this type of usage reporting and how would you interpret it?

Thank you,

Ingrid
