Usage Statistics (Stats)
Institutional subscribers can access their stats for our new platform, Fulcrum, at https://fulcrum.org/counter_reports. This requires no login; it uses IP authentication to identify the requesting institution. You may need to alter the previous link to a proxied URL in order to be IP-authenticated to the reporting system.Stats have been recorded on Fulcrum since our migration on August 1, 2018. You can still access stats from before July 31, 2018 at https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/s/stats/subscriber (choose ACLS Humanities E-Book (acls) in scrolling menu).
ACLS HEB stats are COUNTER 5 compliant. The COUNTER 5 standard is markedly different from COUNTER 4. The biggest difference comes in the way the reports count the number of hits. Your stats look different because the new COUNTER 5 standard shows use in a very different way and Fulcrum provides readers with a more modern way of reading which doesn’t rely on individual page views in a page turner.
