Usage Statistics Tab

The Usage Statistics tab is only displayed when orders are searched by catalog information, such as Title. The tab displays when an individual orderline or a list of orders on the title is displayed.

The Usage Statistics tab is intended to assist selection librarians and catalogers in determining whether an additional copy for one or more libraries should be ordered. The level of demand for a particular title as reflected on the Usage Statistics tab can influence the acquisition of additional copies.

The usage statistics totals are at the title level. The following values are combined totals for all volumes and copies of the title.
