Standardized usage data helps libraries understand user needs, demonstrate effectiveness of e-resources and make informed collection development decisions

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

►    JR1
►    JR1 GOA
►    JR2
►    JR5

Database reports

►    DB1
►    DB2
►    PR1

Book reports*

►    BR2
►    BR3

Multimedia

►    MR1


*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.
