Special Note:
The charts below show COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of NeTworked Electronic Resources) usage of the Library’s electronic resources.
The Library starts to adopt COUNTER Release 5 data starting from 2021. Since the metrics for counting ebook usage are very different from their COUNTER Release 4 counterparts, 2020 data for ebook are not presented here to avoid confusion. Ejournal usage is not affected by the upgrade to COUNTER 5 standards, and a three-year trend is available for comparison.
Ebook (No. of Chapter Downloads)
Usage jumped by 14% in 2022. HyRead and IEEE Xplore Conferences were mostly heavily used.
Ejournal (No. of Article Downloads)
Usage in 2021 recorded a 3.4% increase. ScienceDirect remained the top used resource for 3 consecutive years, followed by Wiley and Nature.
