Hi there,

We are interested in software to help us consolidate and make more
efficient the process of gathering use statistics for our electronic
resources.  I am aware of Scholarly Stats and have read here and there
about the Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI)
(are there places that have implemented this??).

I am just wondering what libraries are doing to gather usage data?
And if you have any tips or tricks or software or technology tools
that you especially like, that harvests statistical data so you don't
have to do this one resource or package at a time.

Any help or insights will be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to reply directly to the list.
I'll be happy to summarize responses, if I get enough of them.
Thanks!
