About CELUS and COUNTER
Features
CELUS collects your COUNTER and non-COUNTER usage data in one place, so you can report, analyze and make collection decisions without wrestling with spreadsheets.
Onboarding and support
Getting usage data flowing is the hard part, so we do it with you. Our team works directly with your library from day one, and we're still here after.
We create your organization, add your platforms and show your team around, so you start with a working setup instead of a blank screen.
Credentials that won't connect or reports that come back empty? We test them with you, track down the cause and tell you exactly what to ask your provider.
Send us your older COUNTER and non-COUNTER files and we'll bulk upload them for you. Years of data, no spreadsheet marathon.
A report for your director, an IPEDS submission or a renewal decision? We'll help you build it and show you how to reuse it next time.
