Question
How do I create a Usage Report?
Answer
ProQuest lets you retrieve usage reports through the ProQuest Local Administrator Program. 

The options are:

  • Create a Usage report, which allows you to retrieve ProQuest usage reports on demand that provide you with account-specific statistics. View online or download.

  • Create scheduled reports to be sent regularly via email. Manage the options and delivery of your existing scheduled reports.

To begin, Login to the ProQuest Local Administrator Program at:  http://proquest.umi.com/lad 

NOTE: The ProQuest Local Administrator program is for authorized Library/Institution personnel only.  Please contact Customer Service if you do not have an account set up, or if you forgot your login information. 

Follow these steps to Create a Usage Report:

  1. Make sure you are on the Usage Reports, Create a Usage Report page:

  • Click the Usage Report tab, and make sure the Create a Usage Report tab is selected.

  • Or, select View/download usage reports from the Quick Picks pull-down menu.

  1. If you have access to multiple Accounts or clients, select the desired Account from the drop-down menu located above the tabs. (If there is only one client available, the Account is static text, rather than a drop-down).
  2. Select the desired Report Type. The About this Report Type area provides a summary of the currently selected report type.
  3. Select your Delivery Method.
  4. Depending on the Report Type and the Delivery Method, the remaining options will differ. Select the remaining features you want to see.
  5. Click on Create Report.

To create scheduled reports, use the Create a Usage Report tab or click Create New Scheduled Report.

This page lets you:

  • View your currently scheduled usage reports.
  • Sort the reports in ascending or descending order on any column by clicking the up or down arrows next to a column header.
  • Edit a report.
  • Delete a report.
