Wiley Journal Package: Unl Download Activity By Subject, David C. Tyler, Casey Hoeve, David Macaulay, Robin Mcclanahan
UNL Libraries: White Papers
Because the field of librarianship has been reconsidering its relationship to commercial academic publishers and their 'Big Deal' journal packages, the authors decided to review the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's usage of Wiley's package. In this report, the authors looked into whether UNL's downloads by subject were such that subscribing to a number of hypothetical smaller, subject-specific packages, rather than to the entire Wiley package, might be a viable strategy.

Unl’S Wiley Journal Downloads: 2014-2020, David C. Tyler, Casey Hoeve, David Macaulay
UNL Libraries: White Papers
Because the field of librarianship has been examining its relationship to commercial academic publishers and their 'Big Deal' journal packages, the authors elected to examine one such package, Wiley's. The authors' hoped to determine whether the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's usage was concentrated enough and consistent enough over a multi-year interval for download data to be useful in identifying journals for hypothetical individual subscriptions or for inclusion in a hypothetical smaller, UNL-specific package.

DigitalCommons@Molloy Annual Summary
The DigitalCommons@Molloy Annual summary typically includes: readership totals, usage metrics such as downloads and metadata hits, and top performing items and profiles. Other areas that can be included are any new series or features, refresh or updates to the site design, and any future project plans.
Due to COVID 19, there was a shift of focus away from adding new works as time and resources were needed elsewhere in order to support the college going remote. Usage and full text downloads continue to increase each year. Total full text downloads doubled from 2019 to 2020.

Analysis Of Usage Of The Ohio State University’S Electronic Theses And Dissertations, Daniel S. Dotson
Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)
This study involves an examination of the download rates for The Ohio State University’s freely available electronic theses and dissertations. The Graduate School has required submission of doctorial (2002) and masters (2008) for over a decade, with limited exceptions, including embargos. Older digitized theses and dissertations have been made available over the past several years, resulting in over 51,000 titles in the online holdings. Download data from the OhioLINK Electronic Theses and Dissertations Center were analyzed to determine how well the theses and dissertations were used and what departments saw noted success for their students’ works.

Analyzing Trends In Discovery Layer Effectiveness Using High Impact Referrals, Robert Boissy
Analyzing Trends In Discovery Layer Effectiveness Using High Impact Referrals, Robert Boissy
Upstate New York Science Librarians Conference
Many competing claims have been made about the time and expense of maintaining different discovery tools in the academic library setting. Analysis of traffic, visits, and views may be inadequate data to focus this discussion. Analysis of high impact referrals, those that lead directly to downloads and denials, is more meaningful. Downloads are an indicator of worth, as are denials. This brief session will outline what a major STM publisher looks for in the profile of the discovery layer of its academic clients.
