Swets Acquires ScholarlyStats
Swets has acquired exclusive rights to ScholarlyStats from MPS Technologies (MPST). MPS Technologies will serve as an outsourcing partner for Swets. MPST will continue to operate ScholarlyStats and to develop the service, ensuring continuity for existing customers of the Web-based portal. Current BCR subscribers to ScholarlyStats will see no changes in access or pricing.
Although Swets has acquired the Web-based portal, the company maintains it will be 'business as usual' for existing customers of MPST. MPST will continue to gather and process the usage statistics. Customers will still access and utilize ScholarlyStats through the same portal, www.scholarlystats.com/, and the statistics will continue to be reported in the same format.
The ScholarlyStats Web-based portal eases a library's burden of collecting, consolidating and analyzing e-journal usage statistics from multiple sources.
