[Wactclc-alma] OER Usage Statistics

[Guidry, Wade]

?Good idea. But to my knowledge, this isn't currently obtainable.


Since OER resources are free, no per-customer gatekeeping is done on the OER sites, and thus no per-customer COUNTER data can be generated or tracked.


The only exception to this might be OER resources that are provided through paid vendor accounts. I believe some of the paid platforms do include OER content, which may be tracked by any COUNTER reporting done through those respective vendors.

Good Morning,

I am curious if anyone has created an Analytics report on the usage of OER materials. I think this would be a nice statistic to keep.

Best Regards,
Traci
