Enhanced FirstSearch Usage Statistics

Enhanced FirstSearch Usage Statistics
OCLC has enhanced the FirstSearch Usage Statistics with the following changes:

A new OCLC Usage Statistics interface is available via the same URL as the existing FirstSearch Usage Statistics http://www.stats.oclc.org.
Libraries can continue to access their usage reports with the same FirstSearch authorization and administrative or statistics passwords that they've always used. This new interface includes updates to existing FirstSearch Usage reports as well as a new Open WorldCat report and 3 of the Resource Sharing (ILL) reports reproduced in the new interface.
If your institution participates in the Open WorldCat or Resource Sharing services, you will have access to those reports via this new interface.

Summary of the FirstSearch Report changes:

  • New tabbed interface that is easier to navigate with context sensitive online Help.
  • The FirstSearch Full Text Used and Simultaneous Usage reports now include history
  • There is a new Institution Overview report for all FirstSearch Consortia Master authorizations showing number and percentage of searches and number of full text documents viewed by institution. Includes institution symbol hotlinks to individual reports for member institutions.

Additional reports:

  • A new Open WorldCat Clicks to Libraries report
  • The ILL Fee Management Reports (IFM), ILL Reasons for NO reports and Union List Strategic report have been reimplemented and will be available for all Resource Sharing users
