How do I view my usage statistics for OCLC databases like WorldCat and ILL?
Applies to
- OCLC Usage Statistics
- WorldShare InterLibrary Loan
- FirstSearch
- WorldCat Local
- WorldCat.org
- WorldCat Discovery
- Cataloging
Answer
Libraries can find their usage statistics via the OCLC Usage Statistics web site. Users can log into this site using any cataloging or ILL authorization number (ie. 100...) and the associated password. If you don't know your password, contact OCLC Support with your symbol and authorization number.
Usage statistics for FirstSearch, WorldCat Discovery, WorldCat.org have tabs of their own under the left hand tab menu. You can find additional statistics for WorldCat Local under the COUNTER tab as well.
