What PURLs in the World?

Did you know you can use the PURL Usage Reporting Tool to see a list of the top 50 PURL referrals each month? Some of the publications that make this list are ones you might expect, and some are more unusual.

Some of the titles appearing more than once so far this year have been:

• Federal Register
• Economic Indicators
• Journal of Special Operations Medicine
• Occupational Outlook Handbook
• Black Americans in Congress, 1870-2007
• Finding information on personal participation in World War II

Some of the titles that only appeared once so far have included:

• Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices
• Juneteenth: fact sheet
• Nisei linguists: Japanese Americans in the Military Intelligence Service during World War II
• Stopbullying.gov
• Environmental Contaminants Encyclopedia

The PURL Usage Reporting Tool is a great way to see what Government documents are being accessed electronically from around the globe and a reminder of the wide variety of publications the Federal Government produces.
