STATISTICS

Introduction


Statistics compiled at the Chemistry Library are divided into three categories:

In Person

These statistics include the number of people in the library during a given hour (Body Count), the number of directional and reference questions asked and librarian referrals each day (Reference), and the number of materials shelved each day (Shelving).

Journal Use

Currently, we have statistics from 1999-2008 for the online journal usage of journals published by the American Chemical Society. We hope to publish complete online journal usage from the years 2004 and 2006 in the future, as well as print journal usage.

Database

We have compiled statistics for the use of SciFinder Scholar in the Chemistry Library from the years 1998-2008.
