COUNTER 5 turnaway data for E-Books and E-Journals is now available to your library in WorldShare Reports. These updated reports give your library the ability to leverage the TR_J2 and TR_B2 data harvested in WorldShare License Manager by turning it into detailed reports to help your library with decision making. OCLC has updated the COUNTER 5 Merged E-Journal/E-book Usage Summary report and COUNTER 5 Merged E-Journal/E-Book Usage Detail report for your use.
The COUNTER 5 Merged E-Journal/E-Book Usage Summary report has been updated to include your library's C5TR_J2 and C5TR_B2 COUNTER data. Summaries of turnaway data by Vendor Name are provided for Title No License Denials and Title Limit Exceeded Denials. You can use the input controls located in the report to switch between the C5TR_J2 and C5TR_B2. The Merged COUNTER 5 E-Journal/E-Book Usage Detail report, which can be launched from this report, has also been updated to show your library's C5TR_J2 and C5TR_B2 data by title.
