2. Background Overwhelming amount of data collection and data reporting
Provides purpose
Provides Peace of Mind

3. Step 1: List List all Stats to be collected and Reported
Determine what e-stats need to be gathered
Ask yourself the following questions:
What is the purpose of this report?
Will this data be useful and beneficial?
Who needs to review and receive this data?

4. Step 1: List cont. My list started with the following stats:
Subscription Databases
Purchased Databases
Renewals
E-Books
Pay Per View (PPV)
Discovery Service (EBSCO EDS)
Digital Commons (Institutional Repository)
Journal Subscription Packages

5. Step 2: Determine Dates Consider the Timeframe
Determine the due date/deadline
Consider how long it will take you to complete the report
Will it take you a week, a month, or longer to gather the data?
Be generous with the collection dates
Good idea to document completion dates

6. Step 3: Evaluate & Reevaluate the Schedule
The schedule is not all-inclusive
Adjustments to dates will be made frequently
Remember to adjust and revise prior to the beginning of the next year/schedule
You will find that each year more reports will be added, but always go back to Step 1 (Purpose)!
