[WEB4LIB] Collecting statistics for electronic resources

[Marjorie Bethune]

Hello,

We use the menu software, WINU, to collect stats for both the CD-ROMs and
those PCs that have the Internet browser tied down to some online databaes
- it provides how many times a specific product was accessed.  It will also
provide time I think although we don't use that in our statistical reports.
 For the online databases such as EbscoHOST, Ebsco provides a report
monthly that we use for the number of searches.  We now use these stats for
the Library Board report.
