US Consortia choose ScholarlyStats from MPS Technologies to help 
them analyze their usage statistics

This month three major US Consortia have decided to provide 
ScholarlyStats to their member libraries.  Libraries within the 
Michigan Library Consortium (MLC), PALINET and the Carolina 
Consortium will now have access to the usage statistics 
collection and consolidation service from MPS.  Following its 
launch in January this year, ScholarlyStats has been adopted by 
libraries across the globe to assist them with the valuable 
analysis of the usage statistics provided by many vendors.

While usage statistics represent a fantastic resource for 
libraries, the subsequent challenge has been the frustrating and 
time-consuming collection and standardization of this data. 
ScholarlyStats removes this problem, delivering standardized and 
consolidated journal and database usage reports covering 35 major 
vendors. Information professionals at libraries within the MLC, 
PALINET and the Carolina Consortium will now benefit from being 
able to quickly access more usable data through the user-friendly 
ScholarlyStats portal.

Jayne Marks, CEO, of MPS Technologies said: "The speed of uptake 
of ScholarlyStats is increasing rapidly. We developed 
ScholarlyStats with information professionals in response to 
their needs, and we are delighted that many more libraries will 
now be able to receive these benefits."
