Usage statistics (abstracts, downloads) are now available by the following elements:
• Most viewed eprints in the last four weeks

• Most viewed eprints in the last year
• Most viewed eprints in all years
• Repository-wide statistics by year/month

E-LIS is an open access archive for scientific or technical documents, published or unpublished, on Librarianship, Information Science and Technology, and related areas. E-LIS relies on the voluntary work of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and is non-commercial. It is not a funded project of an organization. It is community-owned and community-driven. We serve LIS researchers by facilitating their self-archiving, ensuring the long-term preservation of their documents and by providing word-wide easy access to their papers.
E-LIS is based in the voluntary work of an international team of information management specialists. See here
