Usage PUBMED Outside Tool : SFX Statistics of RUGLinks (2010)

For years now, I am putting together this list of the usage of our PubMed Outside Tool link.
In january 2008 I blogged about it.
This is an update!
In 2009 it was: 356.126 clicks (was 262.579)

We still see a strong rise of the use of PUBMED wíth RUGlinks (our Outside-tool, the SFX-linker).
The special URL turns on our library’s Outside Tool for every record displayed in PubMed.

People click the special URL with our Outside Tool username on average:


• 978 times per day (was 719 in 2008)

• 40 times per hour (was 30 in 2008)

• every 90 seconds   somebody clicks TO PubMed with this URL! (was 2 min.)
