ebrary Announces New COUNTER-Compliant Usage Reports

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
ebrary, a leading provider of digital content products and technologies, today
announced that it has developed new COUNTER-compliant usage statistics that make
it easier for customers to view and analyze how e-books and other electronic
materials are being used. ebrary will showcase its new granular reports at ALA
Annual (booth #5124), and anyone interested may sign up for a web demonstration
at http://tinyurl.com/njoh9a.

"As the demand for e-books and digital content is growing, there is an
increasing need for libraries to understand how content is used in order to make
more informed decisions," said Neal Strickberger, ebrary`s VP of MIS. "With
ebrary`s new usage reports, our customers will have deeper reporting
capabilities, rich web-based tools, more timely access to data and
COUNTER-compliant statistics. ebrary is committed to providing the best possible
services, and we look forward to making our new reports available to our
customers worldwide."

ebrary`s new reports include the same functionality as the company`s existing
reports, such as the ability to track usage based on page views, copies, and
prints. Additional capabilities include the following:

* Ability to select report formats including HTML, PDF, Excel and Active
Reports. Active Reports provide Excel-like features in the browser, with sorts,
graphs, pivot and visualization.
* Reporting of percent utilization by title, based on the unique pages accessed.

* Drill-down to category and subcategory.
* Drill-down from month to day.
* Report of turnaways and wait queue for single access purchased titles.
* Ability to select metadata columns for reports including title, author,
publisher, content owner, category, subcategory, pages, and type.
* Report of title license type, separating titles purchased through ebrary and
those included in subscriptions.
