Hi Elizabeth,
At the moment I collect them monthly, and create a separate spreadsheet for each resource. But I'm not sure if this is the best way of doing it (I have heard that occasionally publishers realise there has been an error and re-release the statistics) so I'm wondering about this too.
The main reason for collecting the statistics on a more frequent basis was for reporting use at the end of each quarter, but again I'm not certain if this is the best way of doing it.
Many thanks,
Anna

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Collecting statistics of use - advise sought
Dear Colleagues
I would appreciate it if you could tell me if any of you collect JR1 / JR1A / BR1/ BR2 eResource statistics (whether of eJournals, eBooks or other eCollections) on a monthly (rather than annual) basis and if so how you do this. Are the statistics broken down to individual eJournals and eBooks? Do you achieve it programmatically or is it more manual involving spreadsheets or some other solution? Any advice will be happily received - even if it just to tell me why you don't collect the statistics monthly.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Elizabeth
