Sorry for the double-post but I just checked my COP5.1 data and at least a few vendors are providing chapter data in their IRs for 5.1.</div>

They are data_type = 'Book_Segment'. and the Item is the chapter title and Parent_Title is the book title (other Parent fields add more data).</div>

It included this interesting claim: "So, instead of just counting the whole book, librarians are focusing more on how individual chapters or sections are used. This gives a much clearer picture of which parts of a book are most popular."</div>

I am really curious to know of librarians who really do want to know this chapter-level usage, and how it could be useful to know "which parts of a book are most popular", since we thus far are not offered an option to purchase/license just parts of books.</div>

And it just so happens that emphasizing chapter usage figures makes for much larger total usage numbers, which I can imagine a publisher would use to try to sell more books. </div>
