ScholarlyStats

ScholarlyStats is a portal site with user statistics of Swets, resulting in cooperation with MPS Technologies. ScholarlyStats produces monthly consolidated reports and dashboards on magazines and databases.

ScholarlyStats provides information professionals an instrument with which they can analyse their online content. The available online material and the possibility to remotely consult users, libraries undergo important evaluations. However, budget remains under pressure. The need for an organized system to analyse, maintain and support the user statistics speaks for itself.

Libraries can administrate via ScholarlyStats their user statistics that allows librarians to spend more time analyzing and understanding usage at their institution, and less time administrating their vendors’ usage reports. ScholarlyStats collects, standardizes, consolidates and presents usage statistics to Library staff through the ScholarlyStats Portal, a single, user-friendly, point of access for usage statistics.

The portal provides librarians with easy access to up to date user statistics of vendors, to help:

• Measure the cost efficiency of online content
• Analyse the usage within your library
• Trends to analyse and understand usage behaviour
• Identify training issues for library staff and schools alike
• Make better informed budgeting decisions aided by real usage data
• Demonstrate the value that online content provides to readers

In-depth, regular and complete analysis of usage statistics is a new area of exploration for many libraries, and we are keen to make sure that all our customers can get the most out of ScholarlyStats. We also feel it is important for us to work with our customers to develop the service over time as it is the end user that will know exactly how they want ScholarlyStats to evolve.
