What is the difference between manually downloading XML reports from MPS Insight and accessing them using SUSHI?
For a librarian, there are a number of advantages to using SUSHI as the method for collection of your reports: • Cost per Click – SUSHI allows your usage data to be stored directly in a database enabling them to be combined with other data such as cost data, enabling cost-per-click calculations to be performed. • Time Period – It allows you to define the time period for which you want to fetch statistics. For example, you can fetch reports for a Calendar Year or your Fiscal Year (e.g. July to June) or a customer date period, e.g. a semester. • Manual login – By using SUSHI, you can fetch reports automatically from MPS Insight and download directly into your ERM system. You do NOT need to login manually to MPS Insight (although of course you can also manually login). SUSHI also informs you about the unavailability of any reports without actually requiring you to login to the website. Overall, SUSHI allows you to set up your ERM system to make regular, scheduled transfers of COUNTER repo
