More than five years after their emergence, altmetrics are still seen as apromise to complement traditional citation-based indicators. However, no studyhas focused on their potential usefulness to capture the impact of scholarlybooks. While recent literature shows that citation indicators cannot fullycapture the impact of books, other studies have suggested alternativeindicators such as usage, publishers' prestige or library holdings. In thispaper, we calculate 18 indicators which range from altmetrics to libraryholdings, views, downloads or citations to the production of monographs of aSpanish university using the bibliometric suite PlumX from EBSCO. The objectiveof the study is to adopt a multidimensional perspective on the analysis ofbooks and understand the level of complementarity between these differentindicators. Also, we compare the overview offered by this range of indicatorswhen applied to monographs with the traditional bibliometric perspectivefocused on journal articles and citation impact. We observe a low presence ofaltmetric indicators for monographs, even lower than for journal articles and apredominance of library holdings, confirming this indicator as the mostpromising one towards the analysis of the impact of books.
