Taking a look at your usage statistics once a month is a good way to spot potential problems. For instance, if you forgot to tell us about an IP change, there would be an unusual increase in remote usage and a drop in in-library usage. Working together we can usually figure out the source of a problem and fix it.

POWER Library participants can have their e-resource usage statistics sent to them on a monthly basis. To set up email reports, choose Profile on the side navigation bar in the Current Statistics module and then click the Edit Profile button. Choose the Yes button that appears under Email Monthly Reports.

Links to the usage statistics modules and both video and PDF documentation are available in the POWER Library For Librarians.

Each participating Access Pennsylvania institution is asked to update their holdings annually for inclusion in the Access Pennsylvania Catalog. This ensures the most up-to-date holdings are represented in the Access Pennsylvania Catalog.
