Swets: statistics at a new level

2. Swets & A bit of history…
Scholarly Stats was developed by Macmillan Publishing Solutions (MPS)
Taken over by Swets in 2007
Swets is the exclusive reseller today
What is it?
Scholarly collects and aggregates usage statistics from publisher databases into a single, uniform report
It can communicate with over 60 databases
It provides a clear and easy access to your usage statistics

3. Selection Support is a tool that combines the usage statistics collected by Scholarly Stats with price data about your subscriptions.
You can then use Selection Support to create specific, customized reports, including the ability to calculate the price per use of a subscription.
These reports will help you analyze your subscription budget and make better informed decisions for the future.
