Project COUNTER

"The core mission of COUNTER has always been to make usage statistics comparable and useful. COUNTER does

not endorse individual products, but we welcome initiatives like ScholarlyStats from MPS Technologies that help us

meet this goal by making usage statistics more usable and accessible to libraries."
