I'm very excited that we'll be using the Zoho application to collect our reference statistics beginning this weekend. Again, I've created bookmarklet shortcuts on the browsers at the desk, however if you're remoting here is the direct link to the application. (The sign in information is at the desk and in the email I sent out).

Simply sign in and select the day, date, time, patron location, and question type for each question that comes in, and that's it! (You can also click around the reports on the left sidebar to see the questions which have come in already. And to get back to the stats form just select the top link: "Daily Reference Stats"). If you have any questions at all or want a quick run-through just come see me and I'd be happy to walk you through it.

This is really kind of fascinating...

From Colleen Major, the NER librarian at Columbia:

Greetings. This is just a reminder there is a Electronic Resource Usage Statistics spreadsheet posted at: https://www1.columbia.edu/sec/cu/libraries/staffweb/units/tsad/nerlinks.html

This is usually up-to-date, depending on when vendors make their statistics available. It has a frozen pane, so all of the data is at the end of the spreadsheet. If you are looking for title level stats, usernames and password for vendor statistics are in Meridian.

If you find we are not tracking one of your resources, please let us know.
