13. Example: Gwinnett Tech Infobase eBooks

14. Example: Oglethorpe GLRI

15. Tip: Be aware of abstract vs. full text resources
Sometimes you won’t expect to see certain stats, such as full text for an abstract only database
On the other hand, there are exceptions
Comparing an index to a related full text database might point you to areas that need updating

16. Example: Shorter CINAHL Index vs. Plus w/ FT

17. Tip: Quality of Life improvements
Remember to change the title
And do use the bookmarks!
Be aware that some report option views work better than others. For example, searching combinations of multiple institutions, databases, and months is hard to process if you choose to view each in the report.
Also, selecting all institutions or all months will lock you in to having to select all databases
