Serials Solutions, a business unit of ProQuest, US, has announced that a new Data Retrieval Service is now available for subscribers to its Serials Solutions 360 Counter e-resource assessment service. The Data Retrieval Service enables librarians to bypass the time-consuming tasks of downloading and correcting vendor data before it can be used for usage reporting and assessment.
Serials Solutions data retrieval specialists collect Project COUNTER-compliant reports from resource vendors, clean up the reports, and then load the corrected data into 360 Counter. Once this data is uploaded, 360 Counter normalises titles, assigns costs, and formats subject headings. Then, 360 Counter calculates cost-per-click by title, database, subject, and platform, and provides the results in customisable report formats. These customisable cost-per-use reports and graphics enable librarians to quickly analyse and assess cost and usage data to give library's stakeholders the information they need to make better decisions.
The Data Retrieval Service is available exclusively for 360 Counter subscribers.
