> The Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI) is a NISO 
> working group that is developing an automated request and response 
> protocol for moving Project COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of Networked 
> Electronic Resources) Code of Practice usage statistics from providers to 
> library electronic repositories. SUSHI will help libraries make better 
> decisions by reducing the administrative overhead of using Project COUNTER 
> statistics. Project COUNTER was launched in 2002 to help librarians and 
> publishers in the recording and exchange of usage statistics for 
> electronic resources, initially journals and databases. By following 
> COUNTER’s Code of Practice, vendors can provide library customers with 
> Excel or CSV (comma delimited) files of usage data using COUNTER’s 
> standardized formats and data elements. The result is a consistent, 
> credible, and compatible set of usage data from multiple content providers.
