[Wactclc-alma] [External] eBook usage

[Guidry, Wade]

Naoko,

Meanwhile, it appears you can get some group differentiation within the Link Resolver Usage subject area. (Maybe you've already looked at this.)

Screenshots below. Full disclosure, I'm not quite sure how to interpret this data yet.

And it may be that local electronic collections only get reported in bulk. But CZ linked collections do seem to offer some differentiation, using the Source and Normalized Source variables.

I meant, I can get usage by title, but I can't link the titles to electronic collection in a report.

Yes, I use COUNTER reports for total usage but I wanted to know if I could run a report on usage within Alma/Primo. I was able to run a report by title, but not by electronic collection in the Link Resolver Usage subject area.

Link Resolver statistics won't include usage that happens outside of Alma (ie, usage that happens directly through the vendor site).



The Alma documentation<https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/020Acquisitions/090Acquisitions_Infrastructure/010Managing_Vendors/Managing_COUNTER-Compliant_Usage_Data> lists the COUNTER R4 and R5 reports supported by the SUSHI / COUNTER configuration. Included are various BR* reports.



If your ebook vendor supports SUSHI, you can have those numbers automatically imported into Alma for use in analytics. If the vendor does not support SUSHI, you can still manually import those BR* reports into Alma.

That would be would handy! I do the same thing as Amy. Just pulled all of those reports for ACRL from individual vendors.

Thank you, Amy.



This would be an eBook that we purchased. I was hoping there was a way to see how many times it was used. The same as we can see how many times a physical item is checked out.

For ebook usage stats I am still using the B2 report (counter 4) on our individual ebook vendor admin sites.   I'll be curious if there is a better way...

Hi,



Is it possible to see how many times an eBook that is in a local electronic collection is used?



Thanks,

Traci
