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.</div><div><br></div><div>Have any of you had experience with something like this?
