NISO Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI)

The NISO Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) is a protocol that allows libraries and institutions to automatically collect detailed data on how often digital resources, like online journals and e-books, are accessed and used. This standardized system ensures consistent, secure, and efficient transfer of usage statistics from publishers or providers to libraries. By automating this process, SUSHI helps libraries manage subscriptions more effectively, assess the value of resources, and make data-driven decisions about their digital collections.
