Move to COUNTER 5?

EBSCO and ProQuest are COUNTER compliant; other KYVL vendors are not
Non-COUNTER searches / sessions / full-text are widely available (all current KYVL vendors except LEL) and satisfy many member-type reporting needs
KYVL has been reporting these for years
Some COUNTER 3 reports being used
COUNTER 5 reports investigations, allowing side-by-side comparisons of full-text and I & A databases
Are minutes spent searching available? Only in Gale for KYVL?
COUNTER reports may provide better data integrity?
