Usage Statistics
Using COUNTER and SUSHI (Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting) protocols, LSDiscovery, library discovery system captures statistics on actual usage of e-resources, whether journal or book or database or any other electronic resources from the publisher’s databases. This data, as captured for the various report formats, is used to generate a comprehensive set of analytical reports with graphical representation. This statistics tool helps libraries get an exact picture of how the subscribed e-resources are being utilized and analyze the ROI on their subscription. This analysis can be used to take decision about the renewal of journals at the end of year.
