Virginia's Academic Library Consortium

Celus Plus Agreement

VIVA has started an agreement with Celus Plus (https://www.celus.net/) to manage our usage statistics.  Created with consortia in mind, Celus Plus has not only harvesting and storage capabilities for e-resource usage statistics but also display and analysis tools.  This new service will automate much of the usage statistics collection work of VIVA; provide more data than we currently provide, such as denials; and enable cross-product comparison, such as rankings of titles by usage and overlap analyses.  

 VIVA’s subscription will cover the shared products, but schools would be able to add a local subscription to Celus for their non-VIVA publishers and vendors at a discounted rate.
