Clicks, cost per click, empty searches, fiscal-year presets.
Usage reports and spend
Every outbound click goes through A-Z, so you can see which databases get used without any vendor statistics.
What is counted
- Clicks: a patron opened a database, from the card or from the detail page.
- Detail views: a patron opened the detail page.
- Searches with no results: what people typed that found nothing. Add alternate names to a database, or add the database, to close the gap.
No patron is identified. There are no accounts, no IP addresses are kept, and raw events are rolled into daily totals after 7 days. The public Privacy page explains this to patrons.
Reports
Pick a date range or a preset (this month, current fiscal year, last fiscal year). Set your fiscal year start month under Branding & settings. Views: all databases, top 20, zero clicks, by subject, empty searches, and spend by vendor and funding source. Any view exports to CSV. The all-databases export includes allocated annual cost and cost per click for anything covered by an active agreement.
Most used this month
The public page can show a "Most used this month" section. Turn it off under Branding & settings if you would rather not.
