2. ProQuest Ebook Central and SUSHI
The ProQuest Ebook Central platform provides COUNTER reports to institutions enabling each institution to analyze usage of the platform.
The COUNTER reports can be loaded to Alma either manually or via the SUSHI protocol.
In this brief presentation we will see how the ProQuest Ebook Central SUSHI account is set up in Alma and that the files are harvested in Alma.
We will also look at a specific title and the usage of that title for a specific date, and see how it is reflected in Alma analytics.
Finally we will look at statistics for the ProQuest Ebook Central for the current calendar year.
