SiQ Launch Accessible Archives COUNTER Reporting with Immediate Librarian Appreciation

San Antonio, TX (April 16, 2015) – Scholarly iQ, a provider of COUNTER reporting, analytics and data services for leading academic and subscription based publishers is delighted to have completed and today launched the new COUNTER reporting services for Accessible Archives Inc, a publisher of electronic full-text searchable historical databases with immediate positive feedback and appreciation from librarian end users.

The service provides usage statistics for Accessible Archives Inc.’s collections using the new COUNTER Release 4 (R4) standards, the agreed international set of standards and protocols governing the recording and exchange of such online usage data to ensure independent reporting of publishers’ usage statistics. This agreement and implementation wascoordinated through Unlimited Priorities LLC, a firm specializing in support for small and medium-size companies in the information and publishing industries.

On launch of the service Accessible Archives Inc. received swift feedback from Bonnie Forrest, Electronic Resources Manager, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries “After giving myself a crash course and learning how the process worked I came to appreciate how straightforward the Scholarly IQ site is, especially compared to others I had to work with. In fact, my first successful SUSHI download was from Scholarly IQ.  

I have used the Scholarly IQ site with other providers, and have been pleased.  I also appreciated the quick support I received from both Accessible Archives and Unlimited Priorities in response to my questions.”

Iris L. Hanney, Unlimited Priorities LLCpresident, providing feedback on the implementation and SiQ service: “I have been in this industry for a very long time and I can say without qualification, never have I worked with a team that made the implementation of a project as easy as you have – everyone was a pleasure to deal with, you were uniquely sympathetic to our situation, you worked through all of our challenges with us to come to mutually agreeable solutions – this has truly been amazing. 

I would be delighted to act as a reference for you at any time – your team is first class all the way – and very patient – helpful when dealing with the ‘slower’ learning school.  Thanks so much for everything!!!!

And yes, you can quote me. . . . often and repeatedly!.”
