With WorldShare License Manager, we continue to build on the adoption of COUNTER 5 across libraries. Statistics gathered from COUNTER-compliant vendors help to inform your decision making as you select and maintain your library’s e-resources. With this release, we are happy to announce License Manager offers both automatic and manual harvesting of two additional COUNTER 5 report types. The following reports are now available for harvesting in addition to the TR, TR_J1, TR_J2, TR_J3, TR_J4, TR_B1, TR_B2, TR_B3, DR_D1, DR_D2, PR_P1, IR_M1:
Since COUNTER 5 is being deployed by many vendors, you may find it useful to visit COUNTER.org for a full description of the standard.
Contact OCLC Support to enable the use of these new reports with supported vendors.
In WorldShare License Manager, you are able to attach documents to your licenses. During the attachment process, you can choose to add a label to the document. The character limit for this label has been increased from 40 characters to 255 characters. This allows you more flexibility in providing descriptive labels on your documents.
To help you become familiar with the new features, enhancements and improvements included in this release, there is one update session scheduled. Please note the session time zones when registering. The sessions will be recorded and archived for future viewing on the OCLC Community Center. Please register, even if you are unable to attend, to receive a link to the recorded session.
