COUNTER 5.1 usage data harvester</a> that I released last fall. If your library can't afford a commercial COUNTER harvester like Celus, you will probably find this a huge time-saver.</div>

In mid-December, I found a bug that affects the sqlite database when a particular major vendor fails to include some required data.</div>

I only found the bug after the vendor started sending the bad data (which they should not be as it breaks COUNTER rules).</div>

If you did start to use the harvester including the sqlite database, I strongly recommend you delete the existing counterdata.db file (or move/rename it), and after copying the changed files into the "src" folder, re-run all of your providers for whatever entire
time period you had done before (many go back before 2025).</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="elementToProof">
One nice aspect of it being not compiled is that you can just directly replace individual .py files in the src folder and re-run the harvester the usual way and that's all that is needed to "update" to the latest version.</div>
