The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has announced that it is providing its corporate and academic library customers with an enhanced web analytics platform to measure the usage of the ACM Digital Library (DL) full-text and bibliographic database. The new platform, provided by Scholarly iQ, enables librarians to access past and current usage statistics and receive timely COUNTER usage reports that comply with the industry standard for measuring online usage data of scholarly journals. Scholarly iQ provides solutions to improve the quality of online usage reporting for publishers and librarians.
The platform, to be introduced in July, also includes an automated request and response model known as SUSHI, which utilises a web services framework to increase the flexibility of library access to ACM's electronic resource usage data.
The ACM DL comprises an online collection of more than two million pages of full-text articles from ACM publications as well as a comprehensive bibliographic database. It includes an index of more than 7 million references, 1.25 million citations and over 500,000 journal articles. ACM's full-text database consists of many of the highest impact titles in the computing field dating back to 1954. It includes content from ACM's wide range of journals, magazines, conference proceedings, ACM Special Interest Group (SIG) newsletters, technical reports and multimedia files.
