Hej,
Kom fråga på en av de engelska listorna kring statistik och verktyg för att jobba med det.
Bland annat nämndes ett verktyg som heter Celus, se nedan.
Finns både som open source, för consortia och för enskilda bibliotek.
Skickade det vidare till Tejs och de för redan diskussioner med Celus och kan
förhoppningsvis berätta mer under hösten.

Hi Adrian
We subscribe to the CELUS usage statistics platform https://www.celus.net/ and have found
it to be an excellent product that meets all our requirements.
CELUS are members of the Technical Advisory Board of the COUNTER organisation, and
actively participate in the development of the COUNTER standard and its future releases.
They are continually adding new features to the product, which is always a good sign.
You can view usage statistics for your ebooks at the title and platform level for both
COUNTER 4 and COUNTER 5, depending on your requirements. Most of our vendors have moved to
COUNTER 5 but one vendor (IOS Press) is still on COUNTER 4.
The team is very quick to respond to and resolve any SUSHI harvesting problems. My manager
is very happy with the dashboard graphics which are easy to understand by management, and
we can easily see whether our resources are getting enough use when it comes to renewal
time. We are relieved to finally have a cost-effective and reliable solution for

Hi, all!
How do you compile ebook title level usage statistics and provide access to your selectors
for collection development and weeding?
Like many of us, our ebook platforms have grown substantially over the past few years and
we are searching for a better means of tracking title level usage statistics. Our current
method of downloading myriad COUNTER 5 Book Requests reports from vendor admin profiles
and combining them into one giant spreadsheet is time consuming and the results are
difficult to parse.
Is there a software solution? We have an ERM but it doesn't have the ability to import
this type of COUNTER report. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Adrian

Hej alla,
Det låter intressant - statistik och statistikinsamling är ju en ständigt pågående
huvudvärk för oss alla...
För ca ett år sedan hade vi ett långt samtal med Tejs om statistik i ROAM. De hade arbetat
intensivt med Counter 5 tillsammans med bl a CC-Plus och BIBSAM men ändå inte kommit i mål
på ett tillfredsställande sätt. Som en direkt följd av det bestämde de sig då för att gå
vidare med Simple Usage Stats i ROAM, men Tejs var tydlig med att det inte var något
slutmål för dem. Kanske det blir ett samarbete med Celus på något sätt!

Subject: [External] [Eril-l] Ebook Statistics: Software Solutions? Best practices?
Hi, all!
How do you compile ebook title level usage statistics and provide access to your selectors
for collection development and weeding?
Like many of us, our ebook platforms have grown substantially over the past few years and
we are searching for a better means of tracking title level usage statistics. Our current
method of downloading myriad COUNTER 5 Book Requests reports from vendor admin profiles
and combining them into one giant spreadsheet is time consuming and the results are
difficult to parse.
Is there a software solution? We have an ERM but it doesn't have the ability to import
this type of COUNTER report. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Adrian
