Abstract
The increasing availability of usage data for e-journals and the global standard project for usage statistics report has lead increasing interest on collecting and utilizing usage statistic information. However, collecting and integrating large-scale usage reports generated and transferred in a various way by publishers hinders librarians to utilize the usage statistics. Thus we have implemented an automatic collection and visualization system of e-journal usage statistics in this work. By using the suggested system, librarians can focus on more specific and concrete usage data of their institution. In addition, visualized statistics information can be utilized in the composition of various reports on budget or operation of the libraries.
