<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hello everyone, <br>
<br>
I hope this day finds you well. As you may know, the State Annual Report
now asks for a count of "Successful Retrieval of Electronic
Information." This is defined as:<u></u><u></u>
<p class="gmail-m_4636466717543910767m_-7299275913520443332gmail-m1381384141919533171gmail-msobodytext" style="margin-right:8.6pt;margin-left:5pt;margin-bottom:0.0001pt">
"The number of full-content units or descriptive records examined,
downloaded, or otherwise supplied to user, from online library resources
that require user authentication but do not have a circulation period.
Examining documents is defined as having the full
text of a digital document or electronic resource downloaded or fully
displayed."<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Because your library has access to databases
through the Ohio Web Library, every library should have numbers in this
column. At a minimum, you should add together and report the following:<u></u><u></u></p>

Of these, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps is the easiest to retrieve. Simply go to <a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsanborn.ohioweblibrary.org%2Fstats%2F&data=01%7C01%7Cmlodge%40library.ohio.gov%7Cff6e6d4a7e564970938808d460c4dbe8%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0&sdata=BRF1axTTpWJv9WbNStQzrWTZ4%2F8tIbXNbCePRtHkv9s%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">
http://sanborn.ohioweblibrary.<wbr>org/stats/</a>. If you're inside the
library, the site should automatically display your library's
statistics. The Item Requests by Year are displayed at the top of the
page. You will use the 2016 number.

Ancestry and EBSCO statistics are a little bit more involved.I've put
together a walk-through (attached) for each of these resources. If you
are familiar with the EBSCO admin interface but have forgotten your
password, please let me know and I will reset it
for you. <u></u><u></u></p>
