Getting Local Use Statistics for Research and Information Databases
All vendors of Database content provided for Kansans by the State Library and Kan-ed can provide you with statistical information about your library's use of the databases, provided that use is identifiable as your library's.
Your library may be identified to the vendor by one or more of the following:
- IP address recognition
- Username & password
- Library Specific URL
Database usage via the Kansas Library Card or the State Library's main page is not tied to your database accounts. This usage is counted at the state level to evaluate the effectiveness of the entire program.
This page lists procedures and/or contacts for usage statistics from:

OCLC FirstSearch
Log on to OCLC Usage Statistics to view and print statistics. You log on to this module using your FirstSearch authorization (9-digit number assigned by OCLC) and your Statistics password. The Statistics password was originally set by OCLC, to be the same as your password for using FirstSearch and your Admin password.
If you've changed your login password, your Admin and Stats passwords may now be different. The State Library can provide you with your authorization and original password – just call 800.432.3919 and ask for Eric, Jeff, or Rhonda. If your Admin password has been changed in the past and you don't have it, you must contact OCLC at 800-848-5800).

The URL for the usage reports is: http://persi.heritagequestonline.com/hqoreports.
Customers are automatically IP authenticated for the usage account (using the info stored in CCSI). If you don't use IP authentication you'll get a username/password login screen, so you will need to know the username and password for your account.
Nursing Journals:
You will need to contact Customer Service to get your LAD (Local Administrator) Information. You can then log onto: http://lad.proquest.com/lad?USERID=XXXXXXXX with the user id from LAD to retrieve those usage statistics.
