Understanding this Report
- Sessions: Cycle of user activities that starts when a user connects to a database
and ends by connecting to another database or leaving the service through a
logout or timeout due to user inactivity.
- Full-Text: Sum of only full text records examined, downloaded, or otherwise
supplied to user, to the extent these are recordable and controlled by the Gale
server rather than the browser. Separate reporting of full text usage by database
began in June 2003.
- Retrievals: Sum of all full text, abstract, and extended citation records examined,
downloaded, or otherwise supplied to user, to the extent these are recordable
and controlled by the Gale server rather than the browser.
- Searches: A specific intellectual query submitted through a search form to
the database.
- Turnaways: A turnaway (rejected session) is defined as an unsuccessful log-in
to an electronic service by exceeding the simultaneous user limit.
Other notes of relevance:
- Gale statistics had mistakenly been recombined by the vendor under one account
when we switched to EZProxy in October 2002 until sometime in November 2003
when the error was discovered. Therefore, only system totals are available.
