EBSCO server puts Sushi on database menu

Tracey Caldwell

EBSCO Publishing has launched a Sushi-compliant server to automate the collection of usage data from EBSCOhost research databases.

Sushi, or the Standardised Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative, was created by US standards body NISO to make it easier for libraries to track journal and database usage centrally instead of having to collate statistics from each individual publisher.

EBSCO has been involved with SUSHI since its inception in 2006.

Developers from EBSCOhost Electronic Journals Service were involved in developing the schemas and the standard, and the EBSCOhost service was one of the prototype servers.

According to Michael Gorrell, chief information officer at EBSCO, the company began to plan for the Sushi server for EBSCOhost research databases even before Sushi became an official standard in late 2007.
