Our vendors take up to a month, and occasionally longer, to provide us with use data. Given this lag time, we anticipate that the FY12 use data will be available by mid-August at the earliest. We will make an announcement when it is available.

Your institution’s use data can be downloaded at http://library.gmu.edu/vivasafe/stats.php. Data through March 2012 is currently available for download. We anticipate having data through May available by late next week.

Should you have any questions, please let us know.
