E-Resource Access and Management Services (ERAMS) provider Serials Solutions, US, will add new consolidated reports to its 360 Counter e-resource assessment service. 360 Counter, part of Serials Solutions 360 services, enables librarians to assess collections, justify expenditures and optimise purchases. The introduction of these consolidated reports gives 360 Counter customers the ability to take their complex usage data and create six new pre-filtered reports.
These new reports provide better visibility into how collections are being accessed and used, including the top 100 collection titles receiving the heaviest usage; those that are the most expensive; those with a positive or negative percent change in use; and the comparison of titles provided by two or more content providers, which takes advantage of 360 Counter overlap analysis. Librarians can also generate a report, listing titles alphabetically so it is easier to navigate and drill-down to find information.
The pre-filtered functionality of consolidated reports includes titles from two or more providers; journals and platforms with a positive or negative change in use; top 100 journals calculated by use; and the 100 most expensive journals based on cost-per-use. Acquisition librarians will now have easier access to critical information about the use of their collections. Also, they will be able to quickly locate required nuggets of data so they can look at usage of material vis-à-vis acquisition costs.
