GALILEO Usage Statistics
GALILEO usage statistics are important to both the GALILEO user communities and the GALILEO initiative. They provide an objective measurement of the success of the initiative and individual resources, and they are fundamental to accountability reports, assessment, and pricing.
GALILEO provides access to resources that are produced by the GALILEO staff as well as resources provided by many different vendors, and the types of usage statistics available for these different resources vary. Since 2003, GALILEO has been incorporating vendors’ monthly usage data into the repository of locally-recorded data. Vendor usage statistics are gathered and added to the repository each month by the GALILEO staff. New statistics are usually available by mid-month.
