[OPLINLIST] Reporting Ohio Web Library Database Usage in the State Report

[Mandy Knapp via OPLINLIST]

Hello everyone,

I hope this Monday finds you well. I have a follow-up to my previous 
email about stats in the State Report. As you will recall, we've had a 
few snafus in getting our World Book stats this year. To make it easier 
for you to get these numbers, I've compiled them on the attached 
spreadsheet. The number you will displayed is "Content Views" for 2016, 
which is the number you need for the state report. If you would like to 
see a breakdown of the numbers by month or other measurements for the 
database, click the plus sign on the left. Please add the total content 
views to the "Successful Retrieval of Electronic Information" total.

Please let me know if you need any assistance or if you have any questions.

Have a lovely day,

Mandy Knapp
