Digital content products and technologies provider ebrary, US, has announced that it has developed new COUNTER-compliant usage statistics that make it easier for customers to view and analyse how e-books and other electronic materials are being used. ebrary will showcase its new granular reports at the forthcoming ALA Annual Conference (booth #5124).
As the demand for e-books and digital content is growing, there is an increasing need for libraries to understand how content is used in order to make more informed decisions. ebrary's new usage reports offers customers deeper reporting capabilities, rich web-based tools, more timely access to data and COUNTER-compliant statistics.
ebrary's new reports include the same functionality as the company's existing reports, such as the ability to track usage based on page views, copies, and prints. Additional capabilities include ability to select report formats including HTML, PDF, Excel and Active Reports; reporting of percent utilisation by title, based on the unique pages accessed; drill-down to category and subcategory; drill-down from month to day; report of turnaways and wait queue for single access purchased titles; ability to select metadata columns for reports including title, author, publisher, content owner, category, subcategory, pages, and type; and report of title license type, separating titles purchased through ebrary and those included in subscriptions.
Available this summer, ebrary's new usage reports are included with all of the company's products including subscription e-book databases, purchased titles, content hosting services, and the ISIS developer toolkit.
