The survey results show that 96.4% of the respondents are generally satisfied with Library services, which is higher than the overall satisfaction rate (94.8%) in last year.

Usage Report of XJTLU Library Digital Resources 2019


1

Usage statistics are influential in deciding if a resource should be reviewed and flagged for possible cancellation, if more training is necessary or if the number of concurrent users should be increased or decreased. This report is produced with the intention of presenting the landscape of XJTLU Digital Library and its usage within 2019 and the previous year.

Most of the data in this report is provided according to Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources (COUNTER) standards, the internationally accepted initiative to facilitate the recording and reporting of online usage statistics. A small quantity of data provided by vendors is not COUNTER compliant since the vendors are smaller or primarily focus on the corporate market. The usages of free resources which are supported by other libraries/organizations are not included from the usage statistics.

For the complete version, please find the guide page for Digital Resources Usage Report 2019.
