Queries:

2 -Number of SFX requests and clickthroughs per source – The number of times users clicked the SFX button in any particular source (rec$sourceId) and the number of clickthroughs; output is sorted by source name. (Top Fifty sources only.)

7 -Number of clickthroughs per target – The number of times specific targets were selected in the SFX menu. (Top Fifty targets only.)  

12 -Journals requested but have no full‐text – The top journals for which SFX requests resulted in no full‐text services in the SFX menu.  (Top Fifty titles only.)

CARLI staff will include notes about factors affecting data such as changes in VuFind catalogs, the A-Z lists and other SFX services.
