<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I sent the original poster a direct email, but also wanted to chime in that we are on Alma, but started using CELUS a few years ago after some frustrating experiences with Alma's SUSHI module and wrecking our usage data beyond repair. (My fault as much or more than Alma's, but still frustrating.) Since switching, we've been very happy customers of CELUS and I'd echo David's comments. </div><div><br></div><div>No tool is perfect, but I find CELUS much easier to use than Alma, particularly for reporting and reharvesting (when necessary). I admit it's a luxury to have a stand-alone usage tool when we already bear the sunk cost of Alma, but I think it's a worthwhile investment. Happy to talk more off-list.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>John</div><div><br></div><div>John Kimbrough<br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Electronic Resources Librarian</div><div>Georgetown University Library</div><div><a href="mailto:jwk77@georgetown.edu" target="_blank">jwk77@georgetown.edu</a> | <a href="mailto:eresources@georgetown.edu" target="_blank">eresources@georgetown.edu</a></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Feb 5, 2024 at 9:50 AM Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list via Eril-l <<a href="mailto:eril-l@lists.eril-l.org">eril-l@lists.eril-l.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">We are new to Alma so I can't comment on its SUSHI capabilities but I can tell you that the Celus is the best statistics aggregation tool that I ever used by a long shot.
