That said, I've argued for years, ever since we dabbled with "federated searching", that search and session statistics are worthless and the only metrics that matter right now are abstracts and full text viewed.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Melissa Belvadi, UPEI</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 14, 2016 at 6:15 PM, Chrysanna Beazley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Chrysanna.Beazley@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz" target="_blank">Chrysanna.Beazley@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">We recently implemented our Discovery Service i.e., Encore Duet, and I have been doing some preliminary investigations on how we should report on usage.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">How do you report on this usage? i.e., Do you still report on searches and views even though this depicts system generated activity?
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">I have noticed you can’t report by a particular database only by a platform and, that views are a truer measure of usage, i.e., user generated activity.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
