Standardized usage data is essential for libraries to understand user needs, demonstrate the effectiveness of their e-resources and for making better informed collection development decisions.

Along these lines, we are happy to report that the ProQuest platform (https://www.proquest.com) has been issued its COUNTER compliancy for 2015.To maintain COUNTER compliancy, vendors must be independently audited annually.

Specifically, the ProQuest platform is certified in the following COUNTER reports:

Journal reports

►    JR5

Database reports

*Reports BR1, BR4, and BR5 were not certified because they apply to complete book content, whereas ProQuest platform includes book content in chapter or comparable forms.
