Unlimited Priorities Facilitates SUSHI Reports from Accessible Archives Inc. and Ex Libris

Cape Coral, FL (May 2011) – Unlimited Priorities® has facilitated the establishment of the relationship between Accessible Archives, Inc.,© a database publisher, and Ex Libris Group® to make usage reporting easier for its customers who have a relationship with Ex Libris.

Accessible Archives provides access to primary content from the 18th and 19th centuries. Ex Libris has recently certified Accessible Archives as a SUSHI-compliant vendor, meaning their joint customers can subscribe to monthly reports for Accessible Archives databases. SUSHI (Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative) is a protocol of COUNTER and NISO.

Through Unlimited Priorities, Accessible Archives established a relationship with Ex Libris in March 2010 that involved providing content to Primo Central. Full updates to that discovery service have been made recently, and ongoing content will be added as it becomes available. Accessible Archives also relied on Unlimited Priorities, the publisher’s exclusive sales and marketing agent, to facilitate the statistics collaboration.

Tom Nagy, Accessible Archives COO, commented: “Accessible Archives is aware of the need for institutions to measure the return on their purchased online content. SUSHI reporting provides a consistent standard to compare usage of online resources.”

Iris Hanney, president of Unlimited Priorities, remarked: “Customers will be happy that Accessible Archives is now part of USTAT’s (usage statistics) SUSHI service. Monthly subscriptions make the effort seamless for libraries.”
