Product Highlights
This electronic journals service offers Web access to a growing collection of more
than 3,600 journals from 60+ publishers, an archiving solution, cross-journal
searching and more. Journal titles span a number of academic disciplines, with
service growth aimed at providing breadth and depth of coverage in numerous topic
areas. Journals are presented in their entirety.
Minitex consortial pricing for ECO is available for the Print Subscriber Program
only. The Print Subscriber Program makes the electronic versions of over 1,600
journals available for an OCLC archival/access fee that ranges anywhere from $12 to
$20 per title for institutions that subscribe to the print version of these titles.
Another great feature of OCLC's ECO database is that if your library does not renew
all the titles, the archived content is still available at no charge through ECO
(as long as your library maintains your account with at least one current, active title).
Other options that are not available at a reduced consortia rate are the Per-Article
Purchase Option and the Journal Licensing Program (JLP). The JLP provides access for
certain publishers that have either electronic only pricing (no print) or reduced
pricing for the e-version if they have print.

Statistics
Login to the usage statistics service using your library's nine-digit FirstSearch
authorization number and administrative password.
Monthly reports are included for individual accounts. Each month, OCLC adds another
month to the statistics service. After the service includes 25 months of reports, OCLC
will remove the earliest month when adding a new month. Thus, the service always
includes the latest 25 months of reports.
Overview reports combine data for all databases, including the number of sessions,
searches and full-text documents used. They also provide data about the actual
number of simultaneous users of the account. Other reports provide data about each
database, including the number of searches and full-text documents used.
