Yes our usage is down by about 12% on last year but about the same as the year before (we measure in calendar years). Over the same period though ebook usage has about trebled. We have had a slight increase in student numbers.

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Usage stats down for 2014-15?
After running our usage statistics for the academic year 2014-15, I noticed that our JR1 stats have dropped for the majority of our big deal publishers. Has anyone else noticed this? I can't think of any logical reason why this might be as our student numbers are growing and I'd expect our stats to continue rising as usual. Just wondered if it was something others were experiencing and not just us, Thanks Erica
