Usage Statistics

COUNTER stands for Counting Online Usage of NeTworked Electronic Resources. Project COUNTER is a collaborativeb effort of librarians, publishers, and vendors to develop and maintain standards for consistent reporting of electronic resource usage.

Resources include:

• The COUNTER Code of Practice, currently in release 5
• The Friendly Guide to COUNTER Release 5 for Librarians.
• The Register of COUNTER-compliant vendors and publishers, which includes KYVL vendors:
  • EBSCO Information Services
  • Gale Cengage
  • ProQuest (ebooks)

Designed to work with COUNTER, SUSHI is an ANSI/NISO Z39.93-2014 to enable automated harvesting of e-resource usage data, replacing time-consuming user-mediated collection of usage data reports.
