Electronic Resources Usage Statistics

SUSHI accounts automate the retrieval of COUNTER reports from vendors in Alma. You create a SUSHI account for each vendor and for each report type; a single vendor may require multiple SUSHI accounts, one for each report type. For an R5/R5.1 SUSHI account, you can create a single account for all of the necessary report types.
