About the Data

OpenAthens, 2020-

The Libraries switched to OpenAthens in January 2020.

Available metrics include authentications, resources (platforms) accessed, and use by department (faculty and staff only).

 

Proxy Server, 2008-2019

Numbers represent requests sent through the library proxy server during remote sessions.

One visit to a database or ejournal may generate many dozen page requests and the number of pages requested can vary based on the vendor platform.

The numbers are not useful by themselves but serve to compare relative remote activity from one year to the next.
