Chicago Journals Web usage reports now available

The University of Chicago Press Journals Division announced today that it
will begin offering monthly online usage reports to institutional
subscribers. Beginning in the third quarter of 2006, these usage reports
will provide librarians with a standardized record of access requests to the
Chicago online catalog of journals.

The Web usage reports have been designed to adhere to COUNTER Code of
Practice (level I), and the University of Chicago Press will be working to
become COUNTER compliant at level II in the months ahead.

COUNTER - an international initiative of librarians, publishers, and
societies - responds to the growing need for consistently measured and
easily accessible usage reports for online content, such as the scholarly
research presented on the University of Chicago Web site,
www.journals.uchicago.edu <http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/> . For
questions about how your institution can begin receiving usage statistics
from the University of Chicago Press, please contact customer service at
subscriptions@press.uchicago.edu, or call toll-free at (877)705-1878
(USA/Canada) or (773)753-3347 (International).
