Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Information privacy is a cornerstone of library ethics. So why would we compromise that on library computers? Yet without our intervention, library patrons can have their behavior tracked when they use the web on our computers, or join our wireless Internet networks. Learn what we can (and, unfortunately, can't) do to protect patron privacy online. After a brief introduction to some of the significant threats to online privacy, this session will provide a swift tour of privacy- and security-protecting technologies, including wireless network encryption, privacy-positive web browser settings, anti-tracking web browser plugins, password managers and privacy-positive search engines and other online tools. Attendees will leave with actionable and relatively easy to implement privacy enhancers for their library computing environment.
