Release 5 of COUNTER provides new and different ways of counting usage of journals. To help librarians understand and use these new metrics, COUNTER has published the second module in its Manual for Librarians.
This module gives clear examples of how the metrics work in practice, and it shows how to get the best from the journal usage reports. Written in clear non-technical language, the module also explains how you can monitor trends consistently between Release 4 and Release 5 reports.
