Usage Statistics:

Usage statistics are available on the vendor's website [4].

ACM's pricing model for non-US participants is based in part on usage levels. ACM has instituted an automatic system whereby usage outside of their pre-set levels generates an automatic email to the institution (and to the chief negotiator). It is very important that each institution keep track of any such anomalies, which may be due to data mining (which is not permitted) or excessive downloading, as this has an impact on an institution's tier placement and pricing.

Usage statistics are available in COUNTER report format; a username and password are required. Consortia are requested to contact the lead consortium for usernames and passwords for their institutions.
