About OCLC Usage Statistics

Report availability

Reports may be available as early as the third calendar day of the month.

• WorldShare Interlibrary Loan, WorldCat Navigator, and Digital Collections reports become available by the tenth day of each month for the preceding month.
• Online Cataloging monthly reports are available within five days of the end of the preceding month.
• Current month daily reports are available the following day.
• Once a monthly report is available for a preceding month, daily reports for that month are deleted.
• Publisher Reports are available weekly and updated each Monday.

 Note: If your library had no transactions (i.e., searches, sessions, ILL requests, etc.) for the reporting period, your library symbol will not appear as there is no data to retrieve. There may have been activity for your group or consortium, however, which is why you may see your ILL group or consortium. If you increase the number of months to retrieve, your tab will reappear.

Report access

Access to certain reports (e.g., IFM reports) is restricted to a specific authorization for security reasons. OCLC recommends signing in with your institution's designated authorization for the report type you wish to view.

For example, if your institution has access to FirstSearch and WorldShare Interlibrary Loan, signing in with your FirstSearch authorization will automatically open the FirstSearch reports screen. Although you will have access to the WorldShare Interlibrary Loan screen, you may not have access to all available reports. In order to view them, you would need to sign out and sign back in using your WorldShare Interlibrary Loan authorization.
