Tracking

Identification of Uses

Registered users will respond to a menu screen indicating the purpose of their access, e.g., library reserve, course pack, personal research.

Reporting

Registered authors will have electronic "prestige" reports that they may interrogate at any time to learn:

The number of hits each deposited work has received

The source of the hit (institution, department, user category-names of users will not be divulged)

The nature of the use (library reserve, course pack, research)

Billing

If the author has requested payment for access or copying, the registered user will need a debit account to access the work; the debit would be credited to the author's account. These operations may be implemented through links to a participating bank.
