Location ID - Unique identifier for a library branch, individual library within a consortium, or other location. Usage Summary - This section of the report summarizes all activity over the entire reporting period for each category. Internal Usage/Remote Usage - Gale reports internal and remote access statistics separately on usage summary reports. All database usage recorded prior to May 2003 will continue to be reported as internal usage. For a detailed explanation of Gale usage reporting please view our User Guide on Usage Reporting at www.gale.com. Database Usage - Summarizes usage by database for the entire reporting period. Time-of-Day/Day-of-Week - Details the number of sessions per hour and per day of the week. Notes All times are in USA Eastern Standard Time (5 hours behind UTC). PrintStation retrievals are counted for the location where the station is assigned and not the location where the order is placed. Orders may be retrieved at any PrintStation.
