Acquiring usage statistics for the MeL eResources

Many sites require an administrative username and password to access your library's statistics. In order for statistics to be generated for your institution, you may need to be using either direct or customized URLs. The Geo-IP URLs for the EBSCO eResources will also count towards a library's individual statistics, as long as the IP address is registered on the vendor end. To register or report any additions or changes to your library's IP address, use the IP Reporting Form. If you aren't sure which eResource belongs to which vendor, view the breakdown on the MeL eResources by vendor page.

If you do not know your administrative usernames/passwords, or have any questions, please contact the MeL eResources Support Staff.
