Why Is This Important For Publishers? “Statistics showed that the usage of Academic Search Elite has more than doubled since adding the records into the OPAC, from an average of 5,067 to 11,176 a month.” – Jina Wakimoto, CSU-Northridge “Now that SUSHI has enabled ERM software to efficiently retrieve COUNTER usage statistics using SUSHI on a e- journal basis, the need for per-e-journal costs will become even more acute, because libraries will rightly demand the capability of calculating cost-per-use numbers in a meaningful way.” – Ted Koppel, Ex-Libris

Why Should Publishers Co-operate? “When you sit down and figure out how many staff members it would require to catalog and update our e- journals… it’s a clear indication of how good a deal it is to work with Serials Solutions ® 360 MARC record service.” -- Jeffrey Daniels, Grand Valley State University Vendors and Publication Access Management Systems increase library usage of publisher’s content.
