<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Currently we record searches and views for our databases. I have to login to each separate vendor site to obtain our stats which can take up to half a day to
do, as we have over 90 subscriptions. We are implementing Encore Duet soon (Note: Encore Duet is a III Product that integrates with Sierra and EBSCO’s EDS). We were hoping we could retrieve our stats from one place, i.e., from EDS Admin. I was advised by Ebsco
that accessing stats this way would only record use of databases that were accessed through Encore Duet. This means I would still need to login to each vendor site to access our stats as some databases will be accessed from the database interfaces on our website
too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to know what metrics other libraries are using to report database usage, especially those using a discovery service. Has your library moved away from propriety reports and moved to Counter 4 or using a mixture of both for any
given vendor? <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Traditionally we have recorded sessions and searches but are over inflated with implementation of discovery product and no longer helpful. As a result, looking to adopt full-text and abstract views and possibly some Counter4 metrics.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Realize this is not a new problem and your situation and metrics provided and used can vary based on database vendor and discovery product.<o:p></o:p></p>
