[Purpose/significance] This paper aims to design a usage statistics platform of electronic resources to analyze usage statistics effectively. [Method/process] By reviewing literatures,this paper researches on the status quo of electronic resource usage statistics and COUNTER,then presents a usage statistics system for electronic resources(USSER) developed by Shenzhen University Library which is used for deeply observing and interpreting COUNTER-based usage data. This paper describes the system design ideas and implementation in detail, including design ideas, types of statistical data, collection of statistical data, statistical report generation, analysis and application of statistical data. [Result/conclusion] USSER can collect COUNTER-based usage data from different systems and harvest them automatically with SUSHI protocol, generate various kinds of statistical report. Deeply analyzing usage statistics from USSER can help libraries improve their services. USSER will be improved in the future from the flowing aspects: constructing a gateway for usage statistics, managing all kinds of electronic resources usage statistics, further promoting the application of SUSHI, providing rich report data. Usage statistics platform of electronic resources is useful for libraries.
