16 The WSU Libraries implemented a new data collection tool in the middle of the reporting year.
During the start-up phase reference transactions may have been under counted.
19 Database searches reported in 2012 (for calendar year 2011 usage) increased approximately ten-fold
from the 2011 (calendar 2010 usage) report. Most of this increase can be ascribed to the addition of
certain databases to the default search in WSU Libraries’ WorldCat Local instance. These databases
accounted for 8,252,241 of the 12,303,059 total searches (regular and federated) reported for calendar
2011, an increase of 7,816,717 searches compared to calendar year 2010. Of the remaining increase,
2,624,153 searches were reported for databases for which no usage data were reported for calendar
year 2010. For databases for which usage was reported for both years (excluding WorldCat Local
databases), the total number of searches increased by 374,419, from 1,042,257 to 1,416,676.
