EBSCONET® Usage Consolidation

EBSCONET® Usage Consolidation
Providing vital information for collection management
when and where you need it
Subscription & E-Resource Management
When choosing resources for your library’s collection, lots of questions arise:
Which new titles should you add? Which current titles should you renew? Which ones should
you discontinue? And how do you make these decisions on a tight budget and with an overworked staff?
What you need is a cost-efficient way to collect, consolidate, and report on the usage of your library’s online
resources — and EBSCONET® Usage Consolidation is the answer. This simple, affordable tool provides
usage data when and where you need it so you can make well-informed collection development decisions.
Our philosophy is that effective, efficient usage analysis should be part
of your normal workflow, not something requiring extra steps.
- Oliver Pesch, Chief Strategist for E-Resource Access and
Management Services, EBSCO Information Services
