2. If you do not have this in your Product list, use the form to request access for your institution.
3. You will land on the Usage Summary page. The reports in the Usage Summary tab are the most used, but you can view all the options in the menu in the header. Statistics are updated once a month (at the beginning of the month). 
   
    
4. These reports allow you to know how these resources are used and possibly plan training actions highlighting collections and/or functionalities that are not well-known to your users.
5. You can read more in the Admin Portal help file.
