We use Serials Solution's Overlap Analysis to determine if there are
unique titles or unique date coverage before adding a package.  Are you
talking about packages such as the following?  I have included the
number of unique titles/holdings dates for our library.  Considering
the quality of some of the journals, I didn't feel that we could ignore
them.

AERA SIG Communication of Research (75)
Core Historical Literature of Agriculture (5)
Digital Library of the Commons (27)
Directory of Open Access Journals (1906)
Freely Accessible Arts & Humanities (226)
(we have several of the Freely Accessible packages)
Making of America Journals - Cornell (31)
Making of America Journals - Michigan (22)
PubMed Central (52)
SORA - Searchable Ornithological Research Archive (6)

Of course, the extra titles increase the cost of the Serials Solutions
lease, but removing all of the extra titles would not have changed our
price this year.  We bumped up to the next price grouping but it was
due to adding paid databases.  I hope this is what you were asking
about.
