MetaLib: 689 (UvA) + 89 (HvA) = 778 129 (UvA) + 21 (HvA) = 150 (19%) metasearchable
E-Journals SFX:
100+ Targets (Publishers) 24000 e-Journals

Management information needs Quantitative
Collection management Financial management
Qualitative Usability Deployment of tools, software, systems Improvement of user interfaces Improvement of navigational structure
LibStat - Why a unified library usage statistics database?
Quantitative Management information needs
How many downloads from Ingenta per month? How many downloads from SpringerLink for a specific
faculty? How many searches in ScienceDirect per year/faculty? How many print journals do we also have as e-Journals?
LibStat - Why a unified library usage statistics database?
Qualitative Management information needs
How do people find databases? Do people find the databases they need? How do people get to full text?

Answer We don’t know….. Or rather:
In SFX: so many, divided over IP ranges A..Z In SpringerLink: so many for University as a whole In MetaLib: so many Etc….
