Good afternoon, Ken -- I also try to factor in three years where possible. Also look at the JR5 report to see how much the most recent years are being used. I also found JR5 useful to spot spikes when non-compliant usage occurred (although JR1 will also show this) -- some publishers never alert us to such episodes. If no COUNTER report is available, check usage via the link resolver / A to Z for click-thoughs.

Kind regards,

Hello!

We are planning to review both our print and electronic journals. Right now we are collecting usage stats for the last 3 complete calendar years (2014, 2015, 2016) and trying to stick to just JR1 reports. We have individually subscribed journals, packaged journals, etc. Most titles are divided up by librarian liaison area.

What factors have others looked at in determining if a subscription should continue? What's your process? Any insights are welcome.

Thanks,

Ken
