- Registration is required the first time you use MRI every semester, so once in, click on "Register." (Ask a Librarian for the registration code if you aren't seeing this in a class.) As you fill in the blanks, be sure to use your @wiu.edu e-mail address. After you have registered, you only need your e-mail and password to login.
- After logging in, click on University Reporter.
- Select various options for the report as they are listed. Even when you get a report on the right, you will still have additional choices on the left side of the screen.
- Above the report are some icons. One called "reporter options" lets you customize the report by adding or subtracting elements.
- A full report is usually long! There is a "save" icon as well as an "export" icon which will let you put the report into excel, pdf, or .xml format.
- See the next tab for an explanation of how to interpret the numbers on the report.
