Sorry if I missed a thread, but are we refering to ARL statistics here?
We are trying to figure these out right now and I have a couple of
questions of my own.

1. Are people reporting all paid electronic journal titles or just those
for which the title has not ceased? I feel that we should count all
titles for which we pay access regardless of whether the title ceased or
has limited coverage.

2. How about for free titles? Only active titles or all titles we
provide access to (even if ceased)?

Thanks,
