Subject: Electronic journals usage statistics

Hello,

        I am a graduate student at the University of Maryland. I am
researching methods that libraries are currently using to acquire usage
statistics on electronic journals when none are being provided by the
vendor. The library I am working with offers over 400 titles and would
naturally like to know how they are being used. They are a federal library
serving the on site scientific community. The journals can be accessed by
any of the hundreds of computers that are on site. I am particularly
interested in finding out more about software that could discriminately
log the access through the server, but am also interested in the use of
surveys - electronic and otherwise.

        I would appreciate any input about methods that you are aware of
and any leads that may guide me to more information.

Thank you,
