Using OCLC Usage Statistics for WorldCat.org™

Use the WorldCat.org Click to Libraries Report to gauge what usage the WorldCat.org search box is bringing to your library site. These statistics show how many users link to your online catalog or library information from the WorldCat.org interface. They also show how many of your authenticated users link from the WorldCat.org interface to your OPAC or other resources such as links to OpenURL resources and resource sharing options.

Glossary of Terms:

• Authenticated means IP authenticated against that specific participating institution.
• Public is anyone who was not IP authenticated against that institution.
• OpenURL is the institution’s OpenURL link set up in OCLC Service Configuration, which appears to a user on WorldCat.org if they are IP authenticated against that institution.

You can configure your settings and manage links to your library's resources from the WorldCat.org interface in OCLC Service Configuration.
