Usage of Journals/ Magazines in a college library

[Chetan Hegde M]

Dear Professional Colleagues,

Could anyone please elaborate and let me know the best way to find out the usage of Journals/Magazines subscribed by a college library? The best technique that will help the library staff to know the usage of journals/magazines.

[shriram Pandey]

The best way to find out the usability of journals/magazines subscribed by an institutions(if online) is through the USage statistics Report which is based on COUNTER. Now a days most of the publishers integrated their journals portal through COUNTER which enables librarian to see the usage in customized format .

 

If it is a print, the usage register may be concerned.

 

Thanks,

Sir u can maintain a registers for usage of print journals/ magazines, which includes column like date, name of reader, journal/ magazine reffered, In time, Out time etc.  By this u can know usage of particular journals by your staff/students.
